She was amazing as Olenna Tyrell. Performance of a lifetime.

Does anyone here remember her as Emma Peel on The Avengers from 1965-1968? I do.

I've been meaning to find that and see it as I've heard great things about it. Rigg was brilliant in the Royal Shakespeare Company's video of King Lear.

Some of the episodes are on YouTube.

To be honest, I just skimmed the OP, and assumed that was the first role mentioned. Hell yeah, I remember her from that.

One of my local affiliates played The Avengers in syndication all the time when I was a kid. The show was spy spoof but Riggs and MacNee were so British classy that I loved it.

Rest in peace Mrs. Riggs.

One of my favorite characters on GoT. I wanted her to survive. But she was one of my favorites as Emma Peel too.
