Diana Rigg as Emma Peel

It is important for children to have people to look up to, to be inspired by, besides their parents.
Diana Rigg as Emma Peel did that for me.
I wasn't a typical 1970s little girl, I liked adventures, get in trouble, fall out of trees, fight, be tough.

Not the way things worked in TV shows in those days.
