Diana Rigg is one of the most genuine among those interviewed. It's remarkable how unafraid she has been to say what is on her mind, to voice her opinion on matters fun or serious. There seems to be no careful shading of what she says for her career. In this interview, she was obviously in a buoyant joyous mood - and it causes her to be so utterly in the moment, listening carefully, reveling in the tales she relates. What a completely charming, (greatly) beautiful, fun, sweet, charming and funny woman! It is also a pleasure to see just how taken is Michael Parkinson (whom I've always liked) by Diana Rigg's vivacity and charm. You can see that he'd love to spend the day with her - and preferably not solely in a work capacity. But then who wouldn't? In later interviews on line, Diane Rigg is far more serious - thanks so much for posting this.
I loved Diana Rigg in The Avengers. She was beautiful, independent, charming and classy. And those catsuits...! I am not sure how old she is in this interview, but she is still beautiful and witty and engaging here. You are missed by many, Dame Diana Rigg.
@AlanSmithee20 Thanks for taking the time to answer and it was a blast going back in time to see an interview I missed and that is what is so magical about You Tube...the time travel thanks to people like you..
In her formative years, Dame Diana lived in India. The only place you will hear English spoken proper today is by the royals - and those who are expats from the old pink bits on the map (the British Empire). Actors who grew up in these regions - isolated from Britain, as its accent went down the dumper - came to Britain to find work. They include Cliff Richard, Felicity Kendal and Joanna Lumley (India) plus Richard E. Grant and Nigel Green (Africa) and newcomer Adhir Kalyan (both!)
Alansmithee20 My grandfather from India was in British regime and he spoke well in similar standard ... and I too have adapted such style ... and many wonder if I'm proper Indian ha ha .. but few Indians does speak well ..
She's amazing, real, highly engaging, endlessly interesting and stunningly beautiful!

She has a wicked sense of humour. Saw her walking up High Street Ken early 90s. A real lady, very elegant. Rip Diana.

OMG if I could speak English like her. I think she has the most classy, perfect and sophisticated accent. WOW.
Charm and beauty at their highest peak.
Just like Joanna Lumley.
Around '79. The toddler she speaks of is 35 now!
42 now, time moves on doesn't it?
Ain't she a honey
She's a total nutter!!!
This cracks me up Dame Diana Rules
Diana was a real down to earth. RIP
Shes even sexier than I ever imagined her to be on top of looking better than Liz Taylor ever did by a long shot (miaow)
I love you Diana😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
she will play me in a movie..
SHE'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH AGNETHA OF ABBA WHEN IT COMES TO BEAUTY, CLASS AND ELEGANCE!
She was at that time the sexiest woman in the world. And funny, and engaging
Her and Catharine Denuve. Yummy.
WHAT A BABE !
She captivated men and women alike.
Could she be any more charming and beautiful?
She looks exactly like her daughter (Rachel Stirling) here at moments!
So this is when Olenna said: I was very good.
What fun!
@AlanSmithee20 Thanks for taking the time to answer and it was a blast going back in time to see an interview I missed and that is what is so magical about You Tube...the time travel thanks to people like you..
1:14 -1:18. If I were Parkinson, I´d offer her marriage immediatly -on the spot- after a laugh like that...
Very a-Peel-ing!
One word “Gorgeous”
Could you imagine if she were to say this today in PC America? She's brought up child abuse charges.
She is the best rip
Oh motherhood.. I read that as motorhead lol
slightly out of synch, but she's a marvel.
RIP Diana
@showtuneful - that's old COD (as in the FISH!)
@TheFruityObsesh - That's pretty much all I got! It came from a compilation.
