Wright’s words on Diana Rigg feel especially poignant because they are so personal.
Needless to say, she probably had really good gossip.
It’s easy to imagine the late actress sitting down to trade gossip with her friends (maybe because she brought Olenna Tyrell and her sharp tongue to life so perfectly).
She had a remarkable career on the stage and screen that spanned decades and included roles like Emma Peel in the 1960s television series The Avengers, Countess Tracy di Vincenzo in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and a guest spot on Doctor Who (alongside her Soho co-star Matt Smith).
