Loved just about everything I ever saw her in.

For those young people who never saw her in the Avengers, at least they were able to see her in Game of Thrones.

Mrs. Peel was on my very short list of favorite tv characters back in the day.  The Avengers show was paying Diana Rigg less than the cameramen, so she quit after 2 or 3 seasons when they wouldn't pay her comparably to the male actors.  Beautiful, talented, and stood up for herself.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Tidbits:

1994; DBE (Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire)

Quote
Michael Parkinson, who first interviewed Rigg in 1972, described her as the most desirable woman he ever met and who "radiated a lustrous beauty".

Al Bundy on 'phone ordering videos of "The Avengers":

"Do you have one where she kicks really really high?  Hee-hee-hee."

Well, here's what I'm doing about it.  I'm rewatching my seven favorite episodes of The Avengers:

Dial a Deadly Number    1965
The Danger Makers        1966
The Hidden Tiger           1967
The Superlative Seven   1967
Dead Man's Treasure      1967
You Have Just Been Murdered    1967
The Forget-Me-Knot       1968

You need to capitalize Dame and how dare you assume their gender?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

That was the point, use of the regular case of  dame... as in...

"
We've got sunlight on the sand. We've got moonlight on the sea. We've got mangos and bananas we can pick right off a tree. We've got volleyball and ping-pong and a lot of dandy games. What ain't we got? We ain't got dames!
