It's delightful to imagine an episode in which Emma was casually doing yoga on the beach in her lace onesie while Mr. Steed took a quick kip, when suddenly they were warned about a suspicious weather event. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_9978281ac-1599792354.jpg) This photo promoting the show is just superb, framing them as a two-headed beast. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_2202183hg-1599792250.jpg) She sincerely can pull off anything. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_2202183bv-1599792243.jpg) GET HER, EMMA. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_2202183kk-1599792259.jpg) GET HIM, EMMA. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_2202184ew-1599792270.jpg) "Do I REALLY have to do ALL the heavy lifting?" ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_2213543eg-1599792285.jpg) IT WOULD SEEM SO. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_2209613l-1599792277.jpg) "What, this little old thing? Child's play." ## 1965 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_13011d-1599792152.jpg) She looks very beautiful peeking out of all that nature. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_5886153bp-1599792338.jpg) This was a promotional shoot -- or, something from the set -- for *On Her Majesty's Secret Service*. Interestingly, both Diana and her predecessor on *The Avengers*, Honor Blackman, left to do James Bond flicks (Blackman is in *Goldfinger*). ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_897989a-1599792178.jpg) My dad always said this is one of the best Bond movies, even though Lazenby is not the best Bond. I think he just felt like as a MOVIE, full stop, it was very good? I've still never seen it. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_1606958a-1599792208.jpg) How many see-through lace onesies is she going to wear in one lifetime? Hopefully the answer is two. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_1163851s-1599792187.jpg) "What? Doesn't EVERYONE have an erotic rocking horse?" ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_5881488g-1599792296.jpg) This is an Agatha Christie movie, "Evil Under The Sun," which I totally watched as a kid. I was a sucker for all those Peter Ustinov Poirot adaptations, even though I think for most people he was too broad and David Suchet is the king. Much like with Bond, I think your first Poirot is often your favorite? I don't know. Anyway, Diana played, yes, a haughty villainess in this -- if my memory is correct, she's the one who gets murdered, and no, I don't remember who did it -- but she looks AMAZING throughout. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_5881488k-1599792313.jpg) I MEAN. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_5881488n-1599792320.jpg) AND THEN. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_5881488o-1599792328.jpg) AND THERE IS MORE. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_5881488i-1599792305.jpg) Murder is a crime, yes, but doubly so when it deprives us of these costumes. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/GettyImages-3139297-1599792140.jpg) And here is the divine Lady Holiday with the divine Miss Piggy. I would have watched a 13-episode miniseries about their office dynamic. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/EhjzIcNXcAU2HXH-1599793264.jpg) "MY JEWELSSSSSS!" ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/MV5BMjFhZjk5YTgtZTU4ZS00M2NmLWJhOTctMGE2NmI3YzgyZThmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyOTc5MDI5NjE%40._V1_SX888_CR00888483_AL_-1599802808.jpg) It pains me that I don't have this entire outfit, but just treat yourself and revisit the movie and ALL WILL BE REVEALED IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME. I wish all fashion shows today could be narrated by her the way she does the one in that movie. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/diana-rigg-lady-holiday-2-1599793258.jpg) Sincerely, she and Charles Grodin are so brilliant in this movie. I honestly think he was deprived of an award for it. He COMMITS. (Related: "You can't even SING! You had to be DUBBED" is one of my favorite Miss Piggy insults.) ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_1196133bx-1599792197.jpg) This is Diana as Regan to Laurence Olivier's King Lear. This was 1983, I believe? ## The Worst Witch ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_621172ef-1599792170.jpg) Tim Curry, you too are a goddamn treasure. ## 1997 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_10646304bz-1599792372.jpg) She looks like Diane Keaton with this haircut. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_9036271r-1599792346.jpg) And of course, this is how many modern audiences know her, and was the headline of many an obituary: her role on Game of Thrones. But really it was just the capper on a massive theatrical career of which I am not even scratching the surface. Rest in peace, Emma Peel. You fought the good fight.
