There was a making of Evil Under the Sun at some point where Diana Rigg seems to be much enjoying either playing the part or just filming the thing. It is probably my favourite film with her in it.

Rachael writes in the Guardian. A sad (in places, uplifting in others) but important read:

Thank you for posting that. There are few moments in life that more define the true quality of one's character than how one dies. That Diana died courageously isn't surprising. It's a shame she couldn't have had the choice of when and how.

What a riveting read. Many thanks for drawing our attention to it

And thanks to Rachel. What an emotional time getting that article started and completed had to have been for her. Sad...so bloody sad.

And so Diana was of a mind to put pen to paper about her life and career but was just too weak. Simply started too late. How unfortunate for us all.

Assisted end-of-life is legal in Canada & after reading Ms. Riggs story I am glad it is

Death with dignity. She deserved it. We all do
