Two more volumes please. As soon as possible' RADIO TIMES'After she'd kicked her fucking teeth in, her Ma would be incredibly proud' JOHN NIVEN'Diana Rigg lives again ... incandescent ... unputdownable' DR MIRIAM STOPPARDAn icon at twenty-seven and voted sexiest woman of all time forty years later, Diana Rigg was Emma Peel, the catsuited Avenger and 007's only wife. She was equally unforgettable as Medea, Mother Courage, Mrs Danvers and Game of Thrones' Queen of Thorns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Sondheim wrote a song for her; Ted Hughes translated a play; Laurence Olivier called her 'Tits Rigg'. She fearlessly fought for equal pay and took the Daily Mail to court for their campaign against her (winning both times). Always witty and direct, when asked what it meant to become a dame, she replied, 'I think it means I'm not supposed to say \"fuck\" anymore.'Offstage, she was a gloriously naughty, deeply loving, take-no-prisoners mother to her only child, Rachael Stirling. Little surprise that Rachael became an actress - here she shows that she is a writer too. All About My Mother is both a showstopping mother-daughter memoir and the vivid life of a legend all rolled into one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiana Rigg never wrote her autobiography but in this raw, vibrant and tender book, written by the person who knew her best, she lives again on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57488259678583,"sku":"9781399820332","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781399820332.jpg?v=1790243800","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781399820332","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
