I knew her as Mrs Peel as well, she was much more lethal and butch than John Steed. She was a Tony winner for Medea. She had a cat fight on film with Maggie Smith. A lot of people just die! But some people take a piece of you with them.

She was an intrinsic part of my life ever since, growing up, it had been the right time for me as being old enough, to catch her in 'The Avengers' on first time transmissions. [I even recall Honor Blackman before her, for goodness' sake!]<br />Her rare film appearances always lifted them to a higher level, even if the film itself was mediocre. Her one scene [as Portia] in the star-heavy but otherwise unremarkable 'Julius Caesar' of 1970 is the single thing I remember - and she was one of the few positive features in the 1977 film version of Sondheim's 'A Little Night Music', even out-classing the unfortunately mis-cast Elizabeth Taylor.<br /><br />Her diction was always impeccable, and her spoken Shakespeare spot-on [witness her as Regan in Olivier's 1983 'King Lear'].<br /><br />I saw her in just one production live on stage - 1987, in Sondheim's 'Follies', which I saw twice. <br /><br />I've not seen her in anything for what must be at least 20 years [never watched....'Game of Thrones' was it?]<br /><br />Btw; Anon's reference to her, above, being in 'Abelard and Heloise', I well remember the reviews of that when it started [with Keith Michell, I recall] and all the hoo-ha about it featuring full nudity of the two titles characters. She was also nude in 'Follies', even if she was singing in a bubble-bath.<br /><br />Will miss her - with respect and affection. <br />R.I.P. Miss Rigg. You added a rare special ingredient to my life.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-12749047474087567252020-09-11T00:14:04.589-04:002020-09-11T00:14:04.589-04:00It was a different time.

Compare "I take no responsibility" to "Mrs. Peel, we're needed."<br /><br />I had the great good fortune to see her in a production of Abelard and Heloise probably in the 1970s.Wondeful stage actress too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
