Birthplace

Where in Doncaster was Diana born? (At least, where were her parents living when she was born?)

Corrections

Just to correct a couple of mistakes on Diana Rigg 1/ the quote from the New York critic John Simon is 'Diana Rigg is built like a brick mausoleum with insufficient flying buttreses' 2/ 'Mother Courage and Her Children' was a National Theatre production and not an Almeida production.

I can add more information if you wish to make a complete and unrivalled entry on Dame Diana Rigg.

Another correction

I'm not sure where Diana Rigg was born but I know Doncaster is not in the West Riding of Yorkshire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.125.195.98 (talk) 15:49, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

In fact Doncaster is in the West Riding of Yorkshire. However, it is not in the current county of West Yorkshire, which covers a much smaller area; it is in South Yorkshire.Paulannis (talk) 10:40, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:54, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Diana is certainly a gay icon in my community, but "gay" is a dirty word in Misplaced Pages, so don't count on getting it entered. HAHA, I'm surprised they even let Madonna, Kylie and Cher as gay icons here!

Diana Rigg and Sean Connery worked together once

I think some James Bond fans would like to know that Diana Rigg and Sean Connery worked together once. They both appeared in the 1994 movie; "A Good Man in Africa", but the film left some people disappointed in that they did not appear, (on-screen), together, but, were filmed separately. Since Sean Connery is retired from acting, that will probably be the only time they will work together. Also, could you rewrite the sentence to read: Her character is the only woman to offically married James Bond? She was a little too mature in 1969 to be called a "girl". Thanks. 24.92.48.99 04:36, 15 April 2006 (UTC)Bennett Turk

CBE for being a sex symbol?

"Considered a sex symbol she was made a CBE in 1988 and a Dame in 1994."

Is it just me, or does this imply that she was made a CBE and a Dame because she was a sex symbol? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.177.127.39 (talk) 10:43, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Working with Rachael Stirling

Dianna Rigg and her daughter Rachael Stirling both appeared in the recent TV series The Detectorists. I can't recall if they had any scenes together.31.51.2.141 (talk) 13:12, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
