Very sad to report that Diana Rigg, best remembered as Mrs Peel in the British TV series The Avengers, has died at the age of 82. We Muppet fans know her, of course, for her role as Lady Holiday in The Great Muppet Caper.

Really sad loss, she really brought a great balance of humor and smarts to the character of Lady Holiday.
