“The Avengers”, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, and “Game of Thrones” (amongst other things). She was my favorite Bond girl, really felt connected with her and Bond in that particular movie. Spectacular talent, will be sorely missed. “We have all the time in the world...”

Yes, shame to see her go.
She worked on The Avengers, a UK action series from ABC television. They were one of the two companies(Associated-Rediffusion the other) the the parent companies
of which formed Thames Television to take over the London region five-day week commercial franchise.

ABC "gifted" the early episodes to Thames to maintain continuity. They turned up nearly 30 years later when I was working in the archive.

Did a lot of film and theatre and telly work. Never saw her at Thames unfortunately.
