And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully. - Graham Greene
Diana was my #1 gal back in the early 60s and beyond. Id'a crawled over 5 miles of broken glass, rusty razor blades and elephant poop just to kiss her big toe.
Even at my young age I appreciated her talents. My father would shuffle to the front of his fireside chair when she was on screen. Mum would scowl and say 'men' in a meaningful way.
Oooh, I LOVED the leather catsuit! For me, in the 60's, the only women I wanted were Emma Peel and Barbara Gordon (Batgirl). Even at the age of 6 I knew a good thing when I saw it.
"I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow I like beer, it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow) Whiskey's too rough, Champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear..."
Sharing the bubbly with Emma Peel Diana Rigg would put a smile on my face too.

DeleteDiana Rigg is really the principal exemplar in her own class.
DeleteDiana Rigg (Emma Peel) & Batgirl (Yvonne Craig)! The 60's was a great time to be a teenage boy.
ReplyDeleteI bought the Avengers Mega-set, Emma Peel edition. All of her episodes.
ReplyDeleteBest money I've ever spent.
How about Julie Newmars? Many fond memories of her as Catwoman.
ReplyDeleteJulie Newmar is still kickin'. She'll be 90 in August.
Delete5' 11" tall, two thirds of which was legs. Growl.
Did you know she was once engaged to Louis L'Amour?
Somewhat later, but you can make a case for Linda Carter and Lindsay Wagner.
ReplyDeleteFrom the song by Tom T. Hall.
