  • Born: 20 July 1938 Birthplace: Doncaster, Yorkshire, England Best Known As: Mrs. Emma Peel on TV's The Avengers
Longtime leading lady Dame Diana Rigg is best known for her television roles: as Mrs. Emma Peel in the 1960s swinging British series The Avengers , and, since 1989, as the elegant host of the PBS series MYSTERY! . Rigg studied Shakespeare and was a well-known stage actor when she took the role of Mrs. Peel in 1961. The Avengers was exported to the United States five years later and she was thrust into the limelight; the karate-chopping, jumpsuited Mrs. Peel came to represent swinging London and Rigg became a '60s fashion icon. Although her film career was secondary to her stage career, moviegoers remember her as the woman James Bond loved in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969, with

PRINT THIS PAGE View a printable version of this page. Dame Diana Rigg is a lady whose enduring charms have cut across the generations with almost boundless ease. I wonder whether Uma Thurman's performance in the recent big screen adaptation of The Avengers will be remembered so fondly in 30 years' time. Of course, it's the role of Emma Peel in that 60s TV show that Diana will be forever famous for. As the all-action, cat-suited Mrs. Peel, she was a resounding success, as notable for her wonderfully English performance as for her undoubtedly resonant sex appeal.

    Diana Rigg
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    Diana Rigg in her most famous role as Emma Peel Dame Diana Rigg DBE (born July 20 ) is a British actress She is particularly known for her role in the British television series The Avengers , where she played the sexy secret agent Emma Peel . Her career in film, television and the theatre has been wide-ranging, including roles in the Royal Shakespeare Company between 1959 and 1964. Her professional debut was in The Caucasian Chalk Circle in 1955. Rigg tried out for the role of Emma Peel in the Avengers on a whim, without ever having seen the program. Though she was hugely successful in the role, she did not like the lack of privacy television brought. She also didn't like the way she was treated by the BBC after a dozen episodes, she discovered that she was being paid less than the cameraman. For the second season, she held out for a raise in pay (from 90 to 180 pounds) a week) but there was still no question of her staying for a third year. Patrick Macnee , her costar on the series, noted that Rigg had later told him that she considered him and her driver to be her only friends on the set.

    40. Diana Rigg: Biography
    diana rigg was born July 20, 1938 in Doncaster, Yorkshire. She has one younger brother. diana rigg and daughter at Evening Standard Awards
    http://www.mindspring.com/~jglane/riggbio.htm
    Diana Rigg
    Diana Rigg was born July 20, 1938 in Doncaster, Yorkshire. She has one younger brother. When she was two months old, her family moved to Jodhpur, in northwest Indian, where her father, an engineer, became manager of the state railroad. She lived in India until she was eight years old, and was sent back to England to boarding school. She first attended Great Missenden in Buckhinghamshire, and three years later transferred to Fulneck Girl's School in Pudsey, Yorkshire, near Leeds. The rebellious Rigg was not overly fond of Fulneck Girl's School, and Fulneck was probably not overly fond of her. As she recalled in a 1973 interview with TV Guide: "Classes were incredibly boring. I took to dreaming. They took to punishing me. I was always working off punishments for not doing what I was supposed to do." (1) It was at Fulneck, though, that she discovered her interest in acting, through the tutelage of at least one sympathetic teacher, Mrs. Sylvia Greenwood, who helped channel her rebellious nature into an interest in poetry and the stage. Another influence was her grandfather, with whom she visited during school vacations, and who encouraged her interest in T.S. Eliot, Shakespeare and the English lyric poets. After graduating from Fulneck at the age of 17, and after a short-lived engagement, Rigg auditioned for and was accepted at, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1955. She was still a rebel, and even R.A.D.A. was too confining. "[It] was too rarefied. It had nothing to do with real life. As a matter of fact, I very nearly got thrown out of R.A.D.A. because I was having a dose of real life on the outside." (2)
