This is a confession that will surprise none of my friends. I am enamored of certain British women in mid-60’s films, television, and music. Julie Andrews, Petula Clark, Diana Rigg and, of course, my good friend Prue Bury are, for me, the ultimate in class, intelligence, beauty and sex appeal.
Years ago I heard NPR’s Scott Simon interviewing Diana Rigg. Simon was obviously having trouble maintaining his composure, he was so in awe of her. An adolescent dream coming true, and the reality of it turning a grown man into a helpless, quivering mass. Believe me, I know the feeling.
I was so sad to hear about this today. Every girl my age wanted to BE Diana Rigg while dating David McCallum!
