Actor: Diana Rigg

Diana Rigg played Emma Peel in The Avengers and then Tracy in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the only woman James Bond marries and who is killed in the closing shot.

She had a substantial Royal Shakespeare Company career and won a Tony for Medea. Game of Thrones gave her Olenna Tyrell late, and her final scene, in which she confesses to a murder while dying, is among that series’ best written.
