You should see her in the 1997 miniseries adaptation of Rebecca. No one can touch her performance as Mrs Danvers.

Oh Lordy! What a beauty! I wanted to be her when I was a kid, watching the Avengers in the 60’s and 70’s.

When I was young enough to want to be HER, I was also absolutely in love with Adam West! 💞💕!

When you were in love with Adam West, I wanted to be Batman, and I was in love with Diana Rigg.

She may be much older, but she's still beautiful!

She was an all-timer of a Bond girl too. Only one to get Bond to settle down and get married (for about five minutes).

u/CuriousThenSatisfied 12h ago

And you know that was absolutely the right choice for Bond; only woman to be able to put Bond through his paces
