Sad news.
I've seen some episodes of The Avengers TV series and enjoyed her performances in them.
I think I actually remember her more for hosting Mystery! on PBS.

We lost a good one this time. She was my favorite Bond girl. Always classy. Always elegant. Always beautiful.
So long Diana, you will be missed.

Sad to hear this. She was indeed a treasure.
Not a good year for the Bond ladies. Honor Blackman, who played ***** Galore passed away earlier this year.

Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg was the consummate actress, beautifully delivering her roles for our pleasure until the end.
Was pleasantly surprised to see her recently, in the cast of PBS's "Victoria".
Thank you Dame Diana.

I only caught an occasional episode of it.

Not a good year for "The Avengers" either. Honor Blackman was John Steed's partner before Mrs. Peel.

You could not have said it any better, and I am sure your statement applies to an entire generation of young men. A beautiful woman indeed...I know she was accomplished in many other roles but she will ALWAYS be Emma Peel to me.

I saw her as Modesty Blaise, too, but that wasn't a role she got. Monica Vitti did, but I pictured a young Diana Rigg as I read the Blaise books.
Dame Diana held the female equivalent of a knighthood.

As a 5 or six year-old boy I first caught sight of Diana Rigg on TV in the Avengers. My first thought was "Ooooo! I like that!!!! I have no idea why I like her, but I do!" Had to wait nearer puberty for the penny to drop. 
Her poise, posture and always elegant carriage should be a lesson for all the sloppy, slouching and shuffling young women complaining they cannot get a boyfriend. Class shines through, and it's darned attractive.
RIP, beautiful lady.

Not only a looker, but she could act as well. No matter the role, you knew that she was the consummate professional.

Like most others, I too loved the Avengers. I suppose I was too young to really understand WHY I liked them so much, but when I saw "On Her Majesties Secret Service" I knew why. I almost cried at the end, but it's a good thing I was too tough to do that. The other guys with me wouldn't have understood. I suppose George Lazenby was/is my favorite Bond because he married Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg).
Note to self. Dig out the DVD of OHMSS tonight.
