Goodbye My Lady. You were my first television love, and I have never been disappointed since.

Well dangit.

First saw her as the host of Mystery! On PBS...then the catsuit avenger....
lady of Thorns was an encore.

Such a pity but what a body of work.

Maybe for you. I've had crushes on actresses and singers who were already dead at the time, such as Sandy Denny.

And I think I will have to re-watch the Midsummer Night's Dream production with Rigg, Mirren, & Dench again.

I had forgotten her earlier roles, over Lady Tyrell.

Now IO remember I liked those as well, and the punch is twice as hard.

Farewell, dear Dame, and my you rest in as much peace and enjoyment as you brought to us.

Such a great actress, right up until the end.

Another one to add to the pile, I think I'll be revisiting "The Great Muppet Caper" sometime soon. She was just fantastic as Lady Holiday.

Miss Piggy: Um, why are you telling me all this?
Lady Holiday: It's plot exposition. It has to go somewhere.
