Diana on Parkinson

Diana Rigg was interviewed on Michael Parkinson's UK chat show last night (15th Sept 2007). Sadly, in my humble opinion anyway, the passage of time hasn't been as kind to Rigg as it has been to all the other Avengers women, Honor, Linda & Joanna still look fabulous.

I found the interview to be rather tedious It was even 'course' in places, with Rigg coming out with phrases such as "on your knees and gobble hard" !!!!! and "men without cocks" !!!! The interview was more a device to publicise Diana's new play in my view. In an attempt to make the audience laugh, Diana once again repeated an old, old review she had been given years ago in New York , one that I've heard her repeat time and time and time again

Yes, indeed

She has changed a lot !

That terrible haircut doesn't help

Why did she decide to be a blond haired woman ?

Who knows ! She looks like 'Purdey' in her 80's

She would be more beautiful if she was a "brunette".

She was indeed beautiful once but she certainly isn't now.

Especially that last week, my aunt saw a documentary with her on television. She told me that she was horrible.

My aunt saw it too, 'Empires Children' about India. My aunt thought Diana was in her late 80's when she saw it I've got the documentary on DVD somewhere.

Found it, here she is on 'Empires Children' a few weeks ago.

Purdey in her 80s !

Oh my god ! If Joanna becomes like that ...

Purdey might, but Joanna still looks wonderful.

Joanna is still magnificent !
She was so charming on the tv when Prince Charles married Camilla.

Camilla

What's the common point between Joanna and Camilla ?
The answer is : there's nothing ! Obviously !

Camilla could play in the remake of Something nasty in the nursery as Nanny Goat !!

Joris did you see the picture of Diana in Empires Children a bit further up the page ?

I think she should play in THE MAGICIAN FROM OZ as the old witch from the east !

Diana or Camilla ?

Camilla of course !
No, no I was talking about the link between she and Joanna.
I said there was nothing, Camilla looks so old...

Yes, I've seen it.
I'm very disapointed by the fact that we can't reconize her.
Did Diana take special pills for being old ?

It's a pity, but she is I believe a heavy smoker. She was so stunning when she was younger but I think she looks so 'tatty' now. She is only 69 after all.

I would like to return to the good old time when she was sexy.

It would have been better for French fans not to see pictures of her. Just keep the image of The Avengers as I did for a long time !

I think you're quite right Denis, we should forget these photographies and return to the time where she was the best.

Nasty conversation here !!!

Would you have preferred her to attend surgery so that she looks like someone else !? In my opinion, she did right in not doing anything of the kind. People who like her accept her as she is !

Thank you Avengerholic, for the pictures.

It's nothing of the sort. It's a conversation about Diana's very aged appearance compared to the other leading ladies in the Avengers series. You can't get away from the fact she looks dreadfully old compared to, say Honor who is many, many years her senior. It's nothing to do with surgery or growing old gracefully, she looks terribly aged that's a fact.

Well, apparently Diana herself agrees with you, if I believe what I just found on TheAvenger.tv forum :

"From Digitalspy :-

The new series of Parkinson kicks off with four decades of stars chatting to the show's host this week.

Guests include Dame Diana Rigg, Sir David Frost, Michael Palin and Annie Lennox, as Michael Parkinson returns for the final run of his chat show.

Former Monty Python star Palin reveals how he woke up in his bed covered in his own blood whilst filming his new BBC show, while Frost talks about Nixon and Sammy Davis Jnr.

The host announces that he has a crush on Rigg, and the actress reveals she's had plastic surgery and that her specialist Mastermind subject would be transvestites."

The fact that "Parky" had a crush on her was obvious.
