AVC: Did those early TV parts lead to your being cast as Emma Peel? DR: Do you know, I have no idea how I got The Avengers? I’d left the Royal Shakespeare Company, and I was one of a long list of girls, and got it on my audition. We were filmed and you had to fight a stuntman. There was a stuntman called Ray Austin, and the poor man, by the time I ...
DR: That’s a very good movie. It’s courtesy of Paddy Chayefsky that I got that part. He saw me in Abelard And Heloise, on Broadway, and he fought for me to get the job. We adored each other. We used to play Scrabble when we had time. He’d put Yiddish words down on the board and I’d scream at him. AVC: Was Chayefsky more important to that film than ...
DR:It was all right, but it wasn’t an entirely successful film at all. It was made on a shoestring. You might notice people leaning up against pillars which shake from time to time. And we were all dressed in sheets. [Laughs.] It was Charlton Heston’s dream to do it. And we did it, I think it was in Madrid. Jason Robards wasn’t happy. He was not a ...
DR:I enjoyed it. It was the aftermath, the fallout, that was just not good. For either of us [Rigg and George Lazenby], actually, because it appeared as if we were scrapping, and we weren’t. I very much enjoyed—I mean, it was a very luxe film. Pots of money. Lovely locations. And a good script. AVC: There’s the sense that the film is so popular amo...
DR:It was not a good film. Basil Dearden, now there’s another highly accomplished director. Absolutely wonderful. Huge string of English films behind him. Nice man, really nice man. And Telly Savalas, who was a very good actor. AVC: It’s a real star vehicle for you. Oliver Reed may be top billed, but your character is the protagonist. DR:I haven’t ...
DR:That’s a brill film. I think it’s so original, and the characters are so wonderful. It has an implacability about it, that everybody’s going to get murdered at some time or another, and it’s a bit clunky in places. But it’s a wonderful idea, and I think Vincent Price gives a great performance, and proves that he could have been a great classical...
DR: It was extraordinary, because they approached me. The producer [Leonard Stern] was a charming man. But what I didn’t know was, it was a carbon copy of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Only me being English. So it was doomed from the beginning. But the fact of the matter is, Barbara Barrie, adorable woman, and Barnard Hughes, who was in The Hospital, ...
AVC: Speaking of comedies, I’m just imagining them pitching that scene to you, where you and Daniel Radcliffe are playing yourselves and you end up with the “johnny” on your head. DR:Well, it was an instant yes, wasn’t it? Because it was beautifully written, very concise, and lovely working with Daniel, who was adorable. In fact, it took forever to...
DR:I did the film and Charles Grodin was in it as well. I don’t know what was going on—something technical—and Charles and I were in the scene with Miss Piggy and we had to do take after take after take. And finally Charles said to me under his breath, “Bet you never thought you’d be doing 15 takes for a fuckin’ puppet!” I did it for my daughter, w...
AVC: Having survived her encounter with Miss Piggy, your daughter Rachael Stirling is now an actress, and you worked together recently on Doctor Who. DR: Yeah, that was fun. The guy, Mark Gatiss, who writes a lot of that show, and also he writes Sherlock—very, very clever man. I worked with him on All About My Mother, which was an adaptation of the...
