How did you first become aware of Diana Rigg?

i was younger and fell in love with emma peel

very very recently (thanks to me being a generation Y kid) i watched on youtube the movie adaptation of a little night music and i just fell inlove with her, so i googled her and i've been a fan now for around 4 days hahaha and i agree Emma Peel is a wonderful role model, i have only seen a few episodes unfortunately but i already have the utmost respect for her :D

I have been a fan of the "Swinging Sixties" for several years now. I regularly go to clubs where they play the 60s music and where people dress like in 60s swinging London. There is always great Party at you feel like beeing in the middle of an Austin Powers Movie dancing in a club. Few years ago I was fascinated by the black leather catsuit that Mimi Rogers wore in the Austin Powers Movie. Via Internet I found a guy in India that manufactured a perfect copy of this leather catsuit and believe me - I was the Superstar when I wore it in the club.
A bit later a friend of mine told me that Diana Rigg was famous for her extra ordinary leather outfits in Avengers and since I have seen the Avengers I am a fan of Diana Rigg and her amazing leather outfits.
Today I have several of Diana's black leather outfits and almost every week I wear one in my sixties club... in addition I collect everythin I can find abaout Diana and her fashion on the web.
You see I am not only a fan of Diana but also of her fashion style. And I love black leather... :-)

P.S.: sorry for my really poor English

I was very young at that time (1969)and fell in love. Tereza Di Vicenzo was the reason in "On Her Majesty`s Secret Service". Of course, I also knew "The Avengers" before, but nothing happened then.

I saw reruns of The Avengers. There was really something about her in that show. Some would say she was a sex symbol but she was also very clever and nice.

I too first saw Diana in "The Avengers"..she ceratinly made a big impression on everyone in our household.I always looked forward to watching the show and because i was only young at the time ...i so wanted to be like her when i grew up ! Even today i still enjoy watching "The Avengers" and anything else Diana has appeared in.Diana ia a fine actress and a joy to watch :)

Most may say they first discovered Diana Rigg as Emma Peel on "The Avengers, but not me. I've known Diana ever since I was really little. It's hard to remember exactly what first movie I have seen with her. I'm guessing between "The Great Muppet Caper", "Snow White", or "The Worst Witch the movie". But I think it was "The Great Muppet Caper." When I first saw her I thought she was gorgeous (like a goddess) and was very talented. I was drawn to her everytime it had her on screen. But it wasn't until over a year ago when I've first watched "The Worst Witch" in years on Youtube when I really became a fan of her and noticing her more. Loved seeing her character Miss Hardbroom again. Brought back wonderful memories as a child watching this movie every Halloween on the Disney channel back in the 90s. Since then I decided to look up more movie credits on her. Thats when I discovered "The Avengers" and checked it out on Youtube and thought it was very interesting. Thats when I decided to buy the entire Emma Peel megabox set (brand new and for only $98 US dollars) on ebay. I was very lucky with the price I thought. And as soon as I've receieved my set I was hooked on the show (and on Diana even more) since then. Thats when I've started watching more of her work. I think the next first movie (after I've became a huge fan) was "The Assassination Bureau."

Like almost everybody here I first saw her in The Avengers.
My parents introduced me to the series when I was like 9 years old. Now 5 years later I really see her as on of my rolemodels. I think that more people my age and especially girls should watch her as Emma Peel because she shows us that women don`t have to stand in the kitchen all day long to be accepted by men.
