The secret is simple - I am one of the old members of the IMDb, regularly track information about all the people who were included in The Avengers/TNA. :wink:
Unfortunately, things with updates have become more complicated this year due to the lack of issues of the British magazine Equity.

Probably the best pic from a photo shoot taken in January 1974 at an exhibition of Menachen Gueffen's paintings at the O'Hana Gallery in London. Also in attendance were Gideon Rafael, Israeli Topol, Keith Michell, Miriam Karlin, Christopher Lee and Maurice Kaufmann, Honor's husband at the time.
Lots of interesting conversations and pastime. :wink:

Moreover, Diana and Honor repeatedly crossed paths in those years around the theme of the paintings. :P

It seems soon I will be creating a folder of photos called Diana and Honor together. :)

Each year, Death picks up a lot of people we cherish. But 2020 was really a shit year with Diana Rigg, Honor Blackman, Roger Marshall and lots Avengers connected people.
Also for me Sean Connery, Ennio Morricone, Kirk Douglas...A very sad year
