In the 70s, my parents took us to see Tom Stoppard’s “Night and Day” on Broadway. Diana Rigg played a magnate’s wife, an icy, elegant, super enchanting woman who, at the end of Act 1, removes her robe and saunters seductively off stage. I still think of it often. RIP

My teen & senior fanboy crush has moved on. Diana Rigg owned me in The Avengers. She was smart, witty, courageous , beautiful & a strong woman. Forty years later she captivated me as a smart, witty, courageous, beautiful & a strong woman as Olenna Tyrell on GOT. Saddened

The great Dame Diana Rigg has died. She spent most of the 80s on TV and stage but still found time to be the memorably bitchy victim in Agatha Christie’s Evil Under The Sun with Peter Ustinov as Poirot and star in the brilliant romp The Great Muppet Caper. #RIPDianaRigg

When you start out working behind the scenes, your main job will be making the tea. The very first cup of tea I made was for Diana Rigg, and this afternoon I am sadly drinking my tea from the much-loved mug she gave me as a first night present. RIP Di.

Very sad to hear Dame Diana Rigg has passed away. What a hero. Loved her, and was lucky enough to have worked with her on Detectorists. Her on Morecambe & Wise was one of my favourite things growing up

And though I loved her in that and as GOT’s Lady Olenna Tyrell, my favorite Diana Rigg performance is from ‘The Detectorists,’ in which she starred opposite her own daughter, Rachael Sterling, and gave Mackenzie Crook no end of grief and tough love.

I once heard #DianaRigg tell a story of a production she was in of “Abelard and Eloise,” which caused a ruckus due to a very nude sex sequence with her and Keith Michell.
She said that in British theatrical circles, it was known as “On Yer Knees and Gobble ‘Ard.”

I’m so sad about the passing of Dame Diana Rigg. At least Lady Olenna had the wits to die like a champ before that awful last season of Game of Thrones.
What an amazing actress.
