As a child in the 80's I watched "Masterpiece Theater" on PBS, with the shows introduced by a seemingly ancient Diana Rigg, whom I never paid much attention to. Then as a teenager I saw the Bond movie where she married Bond, and was blown away!

My fondest memories of her are in the black leather outfits that were her mainstay in 'The Avengers'...
RIP Emma...AKA Diana...
