DIANA RIGG | 79

Diana Rigg’s fame started when she played the role of Emma Peel in the 1960s The Avengers. She’s also been a part of the hit TV series, Game of Thrones, so it doesn’t look like Diana will be cashing in on her seniors’ insurance anytime soon. Over the past years, she has found the need for a divorce attorney twice because both her marriages ended in divorce. Her professional career began in 1957 with the stage play, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, and she began performing on Broadway in 1971.

She became a Bond girl in the movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, where she played Tracy Bond. She wanted to live the American dream for that role. Rigg appeared on one of the episodes of Doctor Who along with her daughter. The episode, in particular, was entitled The Crimson Horror. She gained two honors, namely Order of the British Empire, and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. She died in London on September 10, 2020, at the age of 82.
