Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Anyone who worked with Diana Rigg and Linda Thorson had a pretty good life. (I'm not too fussed about Honor Blackman) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33279566 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 A great actor. I never missed an episode of The Avengers with Honor Blackman. The programme was well ahead of its time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Pianoman 1,534 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sad news. He was always on the tele when was a kid mainly because I never missed the Avengers - still watching it on True Entertainment. He was still Steed even when he was in something else. Diana Rigg was best in the Avengers in my opinion at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I read somewhere that he was at the same school as Christopher Lee and got to love acting in the same school plays. And died within weeks of each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
