MASTERPIECE on the Passing of Diana Rigg

(September 10, 2020)  “The MASTERPIECE team was saddened today by the news of Dame Diana Rigg’s death. She was an integral member of the MASTERPIECE family, including 15 years as the host of MYSTERY!, where her elegant introductions made an indelible impression on U.S. audiences. She won an Emmy for her performance in Rebecca, dazzled audiences in Mother Love, Bleak House and in her recent star turn in Victoria. In January, 2021, audiences will see her in All Creatures Great and Small in the role of the eccentric Mrs. Pumphrey. A grande dame of British drama, Diana was one of a kind and we will miss her.” – MASTERPIECE Executive Producer, Susanne Simpson
