    British actress Diana Rigg, whose decades-long acting career spanned 1960s spy series "The Avengers," classical theater and "Game of Thrones," has died aged 82.

    "It is with tremendous sadness that we announce that Dame Diana Rigg died peacefully early this morning," her agent Simon Beresford said in a statement, PA Media reports. "She was at home with her family who have asked for privacy at this difficult time."

    Her daughter Rachael Stirling said her mother died peacefully in her sleep after she was diagnosed with cancer in March, according to PA. "I will miss her beyond words," Stirling said.

    RIP Emma Peel

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Makes me feel old myself. Didn’t realize it was her in Game of Thrones.

            Mrs. Peel was very tasty back then, but has been in a ton of stuff since. She played this mad old Yorkshirewoman (redundancy) in Doctor Who with her daughter, and I never twigged it was her for an instant.

            RIP

              No doubt for the same reason I did. My father liked it too. Never said quite why.

                Don't forget, she was also the one and only Mrs. Bond.

                  She was the source of many adolescent fantasies for me. Goddammit, she was the HAWT.

                  Didn't age well, however.

                  OTOH, Charlotte Rampling, who's in the new version of "Dune..."

                    I think she did age well, just not in a sexy way.

                      Well, then, why bother?

                          She was one of the highlights in GoT. Maybe even better than Dinklage.
