Diana Rigg, of The Avengers, Combined Sensuality with Intellect

Diana Rigg, one of the most versatile actresses of the last half-century, died last week at age 82.

Her career led her to such strong female roles as Medea, Mother Courage, a Benedictine nun, and Lady Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones. She was the only Bond girl to actually tie down and marry the roving James Bond in Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
