she's still a bitch!

[matthewakian2]

I don't know why people have to bitch so much. Lazenby was young. He admits he was arrogant and regrets leaving the role. Why still have the hump about this? 

[billa107]

This interview is null and void. George has went on record and said he regrets leaving it and that he was arrogant and young. So I'm sure we fans can forgive him. He gave us a memorable movie.

She sure turned out ugly and old!

[jksonny]

OHMSS is one of the best Bonds. Lazenby admits now that his sudden fame went to his head.

[woohooboy]

What Diana Rigg is saying about George Lazenby is true. He was difficult to work with and that fact was confirmed by a number of people who worked on the film including director Peter Hunt and producer Albert R Broccoli.....

She isn't trashing him. She does say was a good actor and handsome but he did have a huge ego about him (which he also admitted himself in later interviews). She nails it when she said that he was the architype of his downfall when he made bad choices regarding his career.

[pbawesome1312]

She's wrong, Lazenby was offered a multi film deal.

[EJBronteable]

Tracy is my favorite Bond girl (along with Vesper Lynd).

[enochsneed]

Not only was George Lazenby asked to continue as Bond in 'Diamonds are Forever' he signed a letter of intent to do so. Then Lazenby's agent announced he wouldn't do it (without consulting him). This is a rather nasty, self-serving interview - and I say that having admired Diana Rigg since her Emma Peel days.

@croonlover why do you say that?
