Diana Rigg Vs. Nichelle Nichols

Propaganda

Diana Rigg - (The Avengers, Diana) - Honestly? Just check her out as Emma Peel in any episode of The Avengers. The character herself was a legend - an exceptional spy, wonderful fighter, certified genius, a true feminist role model - not to mention a renowned sex symbol (that leather catsuit... heavens help me...) and fashion icon. As for Diana personally, she was once described by Michael Parkinson as "the most desirable woman he ever met, who radiated a lustrous beauty". She could pivot from funny quips and endearing jokes to stone-cold badassery like it was nothing, and she looked stunning either way. Whenever I look at a pic of her, I have this feeling she's planning some fun mischief and I get the strongest urge to ask her to take me along. Need anything more? Here, have some pics: (pics below the cut)

Nichelle Nichols - (Star Trek) - She speaks for herself. Legendary, iconic, at the forefront of feminism and civil rights in the 60s, she is a triple threat who did so much more. She volunteered from 1977 to promote recruitment diversity within NASA, including some of the first female and ethnic minority astronauts. Martin Luther King Jr. compared her work on Star Trek as a 'vital role model' to the civil rights marches. She refused to be dismissed, fought for visibility and shone whilst doing so. As a woman in stem, and simply a woman she means the world and stars above to me.

Diana Rigg:

When people think of The Avengers, they think Steed and Peel (or they think the marvel property but that’s neither here nor there). I know people who thought Mrs. Peel was the ONLY woman Steed worked with, Diana Rigg was Just That Good (she was only on two seasons!). She was one of those actors that could so perfectly play comedy in any form, her dry, sardonic wit was marvelous, but so was her physical and slapstick comedy, and she could do drama too! If you’ve seen her in interviews you’d also know how fabulously humble and kind she was. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more attracted to a TV woman than I’ve been to Diana Rigg. Some photos of her:

the SMILE!!!!

I like a woman that could kill me in one shot

tell me she's not endearing I DARE you

Gorgeous, sexy, competent, superior, so much leather. Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in the Avengers was foundational to my sexuality and personality. She's classy, she's cute, she's cocky, in one episode she whips a bunch of guys while wearing a corset and a spiked collar...

excuse me I'm overcome with sinful thoughts

 hello 911 I think I'm having a heart attack

Here's an interview I fell for her in:

Nichelle Nichols:

She is the original badass babe. She was a black woman in a leading role on TV in the 60s, a trailblazer for black actresses for years to come. She is so beautiful and so awesome.

she's fantastic. have you seen her? paved the way for black actresses on TV even while her lines and scenes were being cut and improvised the most iconic uhura line in the series. (sulu: "I'll save you, fair maiden!" uhura, pushing him away: "sorry, neither!") she's incredibly talented and it's a crime the show didn't give her more screen time (or make her sing more often because she also has a beautiful voice!)

“Sorry, neither” in response to “fair maiden” was ad libbed by her. There’s a lot more I could say but what else do you need??

A sci-fi icon!

She was such a trailblazer, and Uhura was such an important character for so many people to be able to see on TV. Apparently Mae Jemison (the first African American woman to go into space) cited her as a reason she wanted to become an astronaut. She was just an absolute legend!

The story of Martin Luther King telling her not to quit Star Trek gives me chills. Representation matters. “Thank you so much, Dr. King. I’m really going to miss my co-stars.” Dr. King's smile, Nichols recalled, vanished from his face. "He said, 'What are you talking about?'" the actress explained. "I told him. He said, 'You cannot,' and so help me, this man practically repeated verbatim what Gene said. He said, 'Don’t you see what this man is doing, who has written this? This is the future. He has established us as we should be seen. 300 years from now, we are here. We are marching. And this is the first step. When we see you, we see ourselves, and we see ourselves as intelligent and beautiful and proud.' He goes on and I’m looking at him and my knees are buckling. I said, 'I…, I…' And he said, 'You turn on your television and the news comes on and you see us marching and peaceful, you see the peaceful civil disobedience, and you see the dogs and see the fire hoses, and we all know they cannot destroy us because we are there in the 23rd Century.'"

She shared the first interracial kiss on Star Trek, helped propel real life African American women into space-related careers, and looks divine in a mini skirt.

HOW DID UHURA WALK BACKWARDS SO FAR??? WOW!

Tim’s Favorite Movie Project: Lethal Weapon

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Directed by Richard Donner

Starring Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Mitchell Ryan, Tom Atkins

Released March 6, 1987

Plot: On his 50th birthday, homicide detective Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), a family man, is assigned a new partner: Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), an ex-special forces loose cannon who may be suicidal. When they stumble onto a drug smuggling operation that has ties to both of their time in Vietnam, Riggs and Murtaugh must set aside their differences in order to shoot or blow up all the bad guys in LA in time for Christmas dinner.

One of my favorites because: If there is one single hallmark of a Richard Donner movie, it’s that each of them is populated by extremely well defined, well written, perfectly cast and often iconic characters – Damien Thorn, Superman, the Goonies, Frank Cross (y’know, from Scrooged). Riggs and Murtaugh are the be all to end all of Buddy Cop Duos – the men could not be more different on the page, the actors could not be more different, and their on-screen realizations could scarcely be more opposed, and their chemistry is through the roof. (Mel Gibson is so good as Riggs, you almost wonder if he’s crazy in real life!) I’m also a huge sucker for a Christmas-set genre movie – more on that in coming entries – and Shane Black never used the holiday casually. In Lethal Weapon in particular, the theme of personal loss and loneliness during the holidays contrasts with the theme of family and togetherness, both in the main characters and in the crime plot they find themselves in. Hunsaker, a member of a tight knit “family” of former military drug smugglers loses a daughter just before Christmas – in a way, acting as a twisted funhouse mirror amalgam of both Riggs and Murtaugh. Lethal Weapon opens with a Christmas song, drugs, boobs, and a suicide, and continually ups the ante – it’s a brilliant mix of exploitative sleaze and exploitative schmaltz.

My relationship to this movie: When I was in sixth grade, we read an article in a weekly reader kind of magazine that talked about violence in movies and whether it was harmful for young audiences (or something). The article mentioned Die Hard by name (among others). After class, I asked the teacher, Mrs. Legault, what she thought of Die Hard. Her reply: “Oh, I love it! It’s great. Do you like it?” I said I did, and she said “Have you seen Lethal Weapon?” I told her I hadn’t, and she said “Oh, I’ll bring you all three of them to borrow, you have to see them!” Mrs. Legault was someone I had known for years as the lady who sat in the pew in front of us at 7:00 Mass every Sunday morning. And now she was bringing me all three Lethal Weapon movies on VHS, neatly rubber banded together. They weren’t movies I’d grown up with, to that point, and Mel Gibson wasn’t a star I knew. My parents didn’t love these movies (that I was aware of) and I had no preconception of them. 13 year old me did not know what I was in for – I must have watched them all three times each, maybe more for Lethal Weapon 2 before giving them back. Lethal Weapon has become a holiday standard for me, perhaps not on the same level as that other ‘80s cop action classic, but it’s still a movie I’ve seen dozens of times and know by heart.

My favorite _________: This is my favorite action movie set at Christmas that stars Mel Gibson (the other being Fatman, which, if you haven’t seen it, you should – it’s probably better than you think, but even if it’s not, Walton Goggins.)

List Position at Debut: Lethal Weapon is the third entry in this project and starts out at number two.
