The Telegraph has a longish article about Diana Rigg, including her
comments
on the Avengers years. A brief excerpt -
'"I asked a mate of mine the other day. I said, 'Was I ambitious when I
was
young? I really can't remember.' He said, 'No, you were always grateful.'
I
got tougher after The Avengers."
In 1965 she had a well publicised pay dispute with the producers, which
made
the papers at a time when young actresses didn't ask for "more please,
sir".
She's not sentimental about those years in leather. "You were just
marching
on the spot."
When did she last see Emma Peel in action? "Oh. Mists of time."'
