DIANA RIGG – 81

Diana Rigg has been around the industry since the mid-’50s, garnering her share of achievements and contributions under her belt. She became a global sensation after portraying Emma Peel in the hit ’60s television series The Avengers. The show provided the on-screen exposure she needed that time to attract more projects.

Younger audiences will recognize Rigg’s more recent roles, especially in the popular HBO TV adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s book Game of Thrones, where she played Olenna Tyrell. Her acting prominence in the industry got her credited as Dame in 1994 to contribute to drama and performing arts. The GOT season may have ended, and her legacy continues to live on as the actress peacefully passed away. At the age of 82, she lay hold of her last bow last September 2020 in her London home. With her film achievements, she will not be forgotten, especially by her fans.
