Diana Rigg cover

Recently voted the "sexiest television star of all time" by TV Guide readers, Diana Rigg is best known as the brilliant and seductive British agent, Emma Peel on The Avengers. The Tony and Emmy award-winning actress is famous not only for her acting talent, but for her keen intelligence and strong opinions as well. Diana Rigg biographer Kathleen Tracy reveals the fascinating professional and personal life of this rebellious, outspoken icon of feminism - from her childhood in India and early days with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London to her tenure on The Avengers, her role in the Bond film On Her Maiesty's Secret Service and her distinguished stage career.

"This new biography captures the Rigg experience with gusto and enthusiasm, a must-have for any fan of the grand star..." -- New York Resident. "Kathleen Tracey's biography of Rigg is not just very well written but it is also well researched... The biography is enjoyable and holds the reader's attention..." -- Judith Colombo, author 'The Fablesinger' and 'Night Crimes'
