From the comments: A classic Diana Rigg scene you will want to see. Diana as the Queen of Sin from the TV Avengers episode “A Touch of Brimstone.” Sample below.
Scene
The Queen of Sin from a Touch of Brimstone
If Marvel had made the Avengers 40 years earlier, she would have been the perfect actress for Black Widow. Linda Thorson, watch out, you could be next. I’ve never watched Game of Thrones and thus was not angry at the ending. But I did see Dianna Rig with her daughter in an episode of Doctor Who. Even knowing who she was, I just couldn’t recognize her. It didn’t sound like her either. But she was truly awesome as Mrs. Peel. Rest in Peace.

A remarkable talent and an absolute babe.
