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!

It was one of my favorite shows when I was a teenager. She was part of the attraction, the show itself was British TV surreal weird. Some of the situations they found themselves in were hilarious, one of the more memorable scenes was the toy store in the picturesque village where all the toys concealed guns....

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

And her Avengers sidekick Steed (Patrick McNee) also played alongside Roger Moore in one of the Bond movies, I just cannot recall which one.
I was a fan of hers.
Edit. A view to a kill

She was the woman in charge when women were still pushed into housework, She was also gorgeous. Had a crush when I was a kid.
