Most recognized for: Diana got a rise out of stilted British boob-tubers as leather-clad private eye Emma Peele on the 60’s show “The Avengers.” From there she played James Bond’s only wife Tracy in 1969’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” Lady Holiday in “The Great Muppet Caper,” and Olenna Tyrell on “Game of Thrones.” After 60+ pack years, she’d finally quit smoking, but an unnamed cancer diagnosis in March of 2020 would ultimately knock this Dame to the dirt.
