Avengers star Patrick Macnee dies
Actor Patrick Macnee, star of The Avengers TV series, has died in California at the age of 93.
The Briton, best known for playing John Steed in the 1960s television spy series, died at home with his family at his bedside, his son Rupert said.
Macnee also played roles in theatre, appearing on Broadway, and served in the Royal Navy during World War Two.
A statement on the actor’s website read: “Wherever he went, he left behind a trove of memories.”
He died peacefully at his home in California’s Rancho Mirage on Thursday, Rupert said.
A favorite television show of mine in the 1960s, I concomitantly fell in love with Diana Rigg as Emma Peel — who currently plays Lady Olenna Tyrell in HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Yep, that was a great show, and I loved her too! 🙂
Emma Peel, so cool she was hot, and he was the perfect foil.
