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.
I remember watching an Episode of Game of Thrones in which a very old grand dame was instructing her beautiful granddaughter (who was to be married to the king) in the proper use of feminine wiles, as she used back in her day. I thought, sure, granny—until I realized that was Diana Rigg, recognized in the 60s as one of the most beautiful women in the wotld.
Kim du Toit once posted a photo of Diana Rigg in the outfit she wore on On Her Majesty's Secret Service and quoted a friend (I think KdT credited a friend) that Rigg was responsible for more spilled seed than Archer Daniels Midland.
I confess, nice as she was, she never spun my wheels. That may be because she played a role in The Avengers, a show I never thought worth watching. A poor excuse but its the only one I can think of so long after the events.
I've all the "Mrs. Peel" episodes on DVD. Saw most of them in their original CBS run in early to middle '60s. Most unbelievable part of the show? Her Lotus started every time. ;-)
Mrs Peel. RIP

But first, Champaign!
DeleteSweetest bit of ginger there ever was!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that Diana Rigg and Natalie Wood were born on the exact same day? July 20, 1938.
ReplyDeleteGod must have been in a good mood to allow two most beautiful ladies to be born on the same day in the same year.

ReplyDeleteI watched virtually every single episode of "Game of Thrones" and now that you mention it, that was Diana Rigg!!!
DeleteHottie McHotness from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" as well.
ReplyDeleteEpic loveliness. God does not make many like this lovely Lady.
ReplyDeleteLass played one of the Baddest Arsed Bitches in The Game of Thrones series in her 90s I think?
ReplyDeleteShe passed at the age of 82
DeleteWay too early to go. She is one of the top 10 beautiful women in the 20th and 21st centuries.

ReplyDeleteVery bad teeth in later years, in Game of Thrones you could see how bad they were, don't think they were fake.
