Ish Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Diana Rigg's Mrs. Peel, believe it or not, was also responsible for the creation of a whole slew of X-Men characters. The 1966 episode "A Touch of Brimstone" was [s]completely ripped off[/s] [i]given an homage[/i] by Chris Claremont with the Hellfire Club. Mrs. Peel in her"Queen of Sin"costume (which Diana Rigg designed herself!) being a direct inspiration for Jean Grey's Black Queen and Emma Frost's White Queen. Emma Frost, of course, is named for Emma Peel; The Black King/Mastermind's real name of Jason Wyngarde's (and his likeness) is based on Peter Wyngarde, the villain of the episode. So on and so forth... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Dianna Rigg as Lady MacBeth and Anthony Hopkins as MacBeth when they were both part of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of the Scottish play... Oh, for a time machine to go see that performance! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
