Com mais de 40 anos de história, a banda britânica deu no Rock in Rio Lisboa um enxutíssimo concerto com a melhor pop/new wave dos anos 80 (e algumas pérolas posteriores pelo meio). Sexagenários, os Duran Duran dançaram, fizeram dançar, foram bombásticos e fizeram bombar. Pareceram genuinamente jovens (apesar da rouquidão de Simon Le Bon ter aparecido a meio). (Também) é assim que se faz.

Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor e Roger Taylor estão todos nos 60 e tais. Mas a pop é ilusão e os Duran Duran, em palco na noite de sábado da Bela Vista, pareceram uma banda mais jovem (especialmente se formos amigos e fizermos ouvidos moucos a uma certa perda de voz de Simon Le Bon a partir da exigente 'Ordinary World').

Com o património de mais de 40 anos de canções - uma discografia iniciada no homónimo álbum de 1981 -, o grupo de Birmingham cumpriu no Rock in Rio Lisboa dois desígnios: deu ao público tudo o que o levou a comprar bilhete (um sem fim de êxitos imorredouros da pop e da new wave dos anos 80 e início dos 90); mostrou que a longevidade na pop não tem que ser embaraçosa (à semelhança do que, de resto, também demonstraram os noruegueses e também veteranos A-ha, que antecederam Duran Duran no maior palco do festival).

Principiando à hora certa, os Duran Duran não se pouparam e atiraram-se, desde logo, à frenética 'Wild Boys' (bateria de Roger Taylor bem pujante), espécie de teste de força para os 90 minutos que se seguiriam. E manobra para ganhar crédito para duas canções de "Future Past" ('Invisible' e 'All of You', o álbum de 2021 que só os indefetíveis das primeiras filas souberam reconhecer, com o resto da plateia (de perder de vista) a acusar indiferença.

A partir daí, com apenas mais duas visitas ao disco mais recente ('Give It All Up' e 'Tonight United') a entremear o alinhamento, os Duran Duran dedicaram-se à antiga e nobre missão de agradar. Veja-se o luxo: 'A View to a Kill', colheita James Bond 1985, 'Notorious', funk do melhor com o dedo de Nile Rodgers (aquele pequeno riff de guitarra tão, mas tão comestível) via 1986, 'Union of the Snake', do igualmente soberbo ano de 1983. A acompanhar o quarteto-base, um coro de duas vozes femininas, saxofonista e guitarra elétrica.

'Come Undone', vestígio de um início dos anos 90 em que os Duran Duran voltaram a sintonizar-se com as tabelas de vendas, não deslustrou, mas perdeu para uma aprumada 'Hungry Like the Wolf' (primeiro 'sintoma' de "Rio", de 1982, de que se ouviriam outros dignos espécimes mais adiante) e para a bem-vinda recordação de 'Friends of Mine', penúltima canção do álbum de estreia (e uma das poucas canções do alinhamento que não foram single).

A partir de 'Ordinary World' (dedicada ao povo da Ucrânia, "que está a sofrer inexplicável e inimaginavelmente"), Simon Le Bon mostrou uma crescente rouquidão que se refletiu numa menor capacidade em atingir notas altas com o mesmo acerto, mantendo contudo a afinação na maior parte do tempo e incutindo, galhardamente, alguma rudeza mais rock na entrega. Não foi perfeito, mas esteve longe de ser um grande problema. E a aspereza, já perto do final, até deu jeito em 'White Lines', versão de Grandmaster Flash e Melle Mel lançada no mal-amado álbum de versões de 1995.

'Girls on Film', o terceiro single da carreira da banda (e ainda hoje, um portento de concisão new wave), mereceu cruzamento com 'Acceptable in the 80s', de Calvin Harris. A banda saiu depois de cena, mas voltou depressa para um encore, também ele uma 'instituição' de outros tempos em festivais: Simon Le Bon, agora vestindo apenas uma t-shirt com a expressão "courage est au courant" e voltando a pedir orações pela Ucrânia, parece ter tomado meio rebuçado de mentol para 'Save a Prayer'. O final, esse, só podia ser um: 'Rio' (gloriosamente mais 'Pop in...' do que 'Rock in...'), o glamour de 1982 diretamente para um 2022 que ainda não sabemos bem de que terra é, mas pelo menos em Lisboa vem com solo de saxofone.

Rock in Rio Lisboa

Os Duran Duran… duram e duram e duram


Rui Pedro Pereira
Hoje às 01:20

A banda inglesa terminou a noite de sábado do Rock in Rio Lisboa com os maiores êxitos, alguns com 40 anos, e continua a ter no vocalista Simon Le Bon um "frontman" com uma energia inesgotável.

A plateia junto ao Palco Mundo do Rock in Rio Lisboa já estava composta quando uma dúvida assaltou dois amigos na casa dos 50 anos: ele, antigo emigrante na Suíça, ia comprar discos dos Duran Duran à Holanda porque os LP"s só chegaram mais tarde a Lisboa, a uma pequena loja dos Restauradores que os seus cabelos brancos já não o ajudavam a lembrar. Ora, o espaço chamava-se "Bimotor" e foi essa a metáfora da banda britânica na noite deste sábado no Parque da Bela Vista: um avião antigo, restaurado mas fiável, com músicos de excelência para lá dos 60 anos mas a um ritmo frenético.

O espetáculo começou eletrizante, com o tema "Wild Boys" a conquistar, de imediato, a plateia. De casaco branco e calças prateadas, Simon Le Bon empolgou-se, chegou perto da audiência, ao lado do baixista John Taylor. Seguiram-se, num ápice, outros êxitos, como "A View to a Kill", um dos temas da saga de "James Bond" e "The Union of The Snake".

"Come Undone" catapultou a banda para os temas mais calmos, com Nick Rhodes a brilhar nas teclas e a filmar a multidão e Roger Andrew Taylor na bateria. De seguida ouviram-se temas mais recentes do novo álbum, "Future Past", até regressarem os êxitos antigos como "Save a Prayer".

Em resumo, um concerto nostálgico e do agrado dos milhares de fãs com t-shirts com o nome da banda estampada e que recordaram o concerto em Portugal em outubro de 1982, no antigo Pavilhão Dramático de Cascais. Porque eles estão para durar...

Dia para maiores de 40

Depois da noite do rock, com Muse ou Xutos e Pontapés e do dia dedicado aos mais jovens, com Black Eyed Peas e David Carreira, no último fim de semana, o Rock in Rio Lisboa recebeu ontem festivaleiros de meia idade, nostálgicos dos anos 80 e 90. Para "matar" saudades dos tempos de há 40 ou 30 anos, o Parque da Bela Vista deu as boas-vindas a outras bandas do século passado, mas que ainda dão cartas em 2022: Bush, UB40 e A-Ha.

Pouco passava das nove da noite quando a formação norueguesa de "new wave" e "pop rock", nascida na cidade de Oslo, em 1982, subiu ao Palco Mundo. Os músicos, que alcançaram sucesso mundial nos anos 80, rapidamente mostraram ao que vieram e conquistaram a audiência com um "boa noite Lisboa, tudo bem?". Alguns dos maiores êxitos como "Take on Me" não foram esquecidos e se em Liam Gallagher rebentaram duas tochas e em Ivete Sangalo sobressaíram as bandeiras brasileiras, no sábado à noite foi a vez de uma bandeira da Noruega se destacar entre a imensa multidão. As hostilidades foram abertas com os membros do grupo com óculos de sol, já a tarde se tinha posto. Até ao fim ouviu se "pop" electrónico, com o piano em destaque, a lembrar os "eighties".

Ainda era de dia quando os UB40 se apresentaram. A banda britânica com influências do "reggae" e "pop", formada em 1978, na cidade de Birmingham, mostrou ter uma legião de adeptos em Portugal. Ali Campbell, o convidado da tarde, continua, aos 63 anos, com um alcance vocal assinalável. A audiência dançou ao som do "reggae" durante uma hora, embalada pelos sons do grupo e, ao contrário do que tinha acontecido nas tardes do fim de semana anterior, o recinto encheu, com 70 mil a vibrar com a interpretação de "Purple Rain, de Prince, uma das músicas mais celebradas.

Os grandes êxitos dos UB40 ficaram para o fim da tarde, entre eles "Cant Help Falling in Love" ou "Red Wine". O fim do concerto coincidiu com a entrada de Ney Matogrosso no Galp Music Valley. A exuberância e performance do artista brasileiro levou vários milhares ao local, que se desviaram do palco principal do Rock in Rio Lisboa.

Às cinco da tarde tinham entrado na Bela Vista os Bush. Banda "grunge" formada em 1992 em Inglaterra e que vendeu milhões de álbuns... nos Estados Unidos, terminaram em 2002, mas voltaram em 2010, com Gavin Rossdale, como "frontman", Chris treynor na guitarra, Corey Britz no baixo e Nick Hughes bateria. Sem as camisas de flanela que celebraram, também, os Nirvana ou os Pearl Jam, há 30 anos, o vocalista desceu mesmo do palco e juntou se ao público ao agarrar várias mãos de fãs em êxtase, enquanto celebrava as centenas de t shirts que notou "com o nome da banda". "Último espetáculo na Europa e que maneira de terminar", atirou Gavin, com uma cerveja portuguesa na mão. O público aplaudiu mas notou que o concerto teve menos de uma hora de duração. Soube a pouco, porque o "grunge" esteve em alta. "São ingleses e não estão habituados a este sol", brincava-se nas primeiras filas. Verdade ao não, minutos depois começava, no Galp Music Valey, o concerto de António Zambujo. A organização não quis sobrepor atuações e o espetáculo do cantor português foi transmitido em direto nos ecrãs gigantes do Palco Mundo, para entretenimento de quem já marcava o lugar para os UB40.

Pelo Galp Music Valley passaram ainda os Delfins e, a encerrar a noite, José Cid. Os artistas foram uma alternativa aos cabeças de cartaz do Palco Mundo e puseram os espectadores a cantar e a dançar os grandes êxitos... em português.

Johnny Depp - Explains How He Got Into Acting & Talks Pirate Of The Caribbean

Johnny Depp answers questions at trial how he started his career.

Some magic in this video.
This is one of the greatest Johnny Depp Interviews of all time without a doubt. And it was made on trial.
Here you can see the vulnerability, the sensitivity of this great actor, man, father.
A living legend.
Johnny speaks about his first movie and others. And I was there (in the 80s) watching those movies. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" 1984 and "21 Jump Street" the TV Series (1987-1990).
I loved that movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street", still watch this movie almost every year.
And the TV show "21 Jump Street" marked me a lot in the 80s. Love it. "The cases of an undercover police unit composed of young-looking officers specializing in youth crime."

You should see this video and believe me you will see why Johnny depp is one of the best personalities on this planet.
Whatever the outcome of this trial, my opinion about Johhny Depp will never change. Or about "Captain Jack Sparrow" in the "Pirates" movies or "Officer Tom Hanson" in "21 Jump Street".

Lady Gaga - Hold My Hand (From “Top Gun: Maverick”) [Official Music Video]

Tell me you need me

Hold my hand, everything will be okay
I heard from the heavens that clouds have been grey
Pull me close, wrap me in your aching arms
I see that you're hurtin', why'd you take so long

To tell me you need me? I see that you're bleeding
You don't need to show me again
But if you decide to, I'll ride in this life with you
I won't let go 'til the end

So cry tonight
But don't you let go of my hand
You can cry every last tear
I won't leave 'til I understand
Promise me, just hold my hand

Raise your head, look into my wishful eyes
That fear that's inside you will lift, give it time
I can see everything you're blind to now
Your prayers will be answered, let God whisper how

To tell me you need me, I see that you're bleeding
You don't need to show me again
But if you decide to, I'll ride in this life with you
I won't let go 'til the end

So cry tonight
But don't you let go of my hand
You can cry every last tear
I won't leave 'til I understand
Promise you'll just hold my hand

Hold my hand, hold my
Hold my hand, my hand
I'll be right here, hold my hand
Hold my hand, hold my
Hold my hand, my hand
I'll be right here, hold my hand

I know you're scared and your pain is imperfect
But don't you give up on yourself
I've heard a story, a girl, she once told me
That I would be happy again

Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Hold my hand
I heard from the heavens

Robbie Williams | Love My Life (Official Video)

Tether your soul to me
I will never let go completely
One day your hands will be
Strong enough to hold me

I might not be there for all your battles
But you'll win them eventually
I pray that I'm giving you all that matters
So one day you'll say to me

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free

I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life

I am not my mistakes
And God knows, I've made a few
I started to question the angels
And the answer they gave was you

I cannot promise there won't be sadness
I wish I could take it from you
But you'll find the courage to face the madness
And sing it because it's true

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free

I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life

Find the others
With hearts
Like yours
Run far, run free
I'm with you

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful

I'm where I want to be

9/11 2021-09-10 weforum.org, A timeline of everything that happened on 9/11

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/09/9-11-timeline-visualized-america-september-terror-attacks/

A timeline of everything that happened on 9/11

  • This visualization provides a timeline of happened on morning of 9/11.
  • In the space of three hours, two planes hit the World Trade Center, one plane hit the Pentagon and one crashed in Pennsylvania.
  • Nearly 3,000 died during the attacks, and many more suffer ongoing conditions from injuries and smoke inhalation.

a timeline of how the day unfolded. 

For millions, September 11, 2001, is a day that will never be forgotten.


9/11 timeline: Three hours that changed everything

For Americans and people watching around the world, September 11, 2001, is a day that will never be forgotten.

Within three hours, New York’s tallest buildings were reduced to rubble, and the Pentagon—the nerve center of the American armed forces—was burning and partially collapsed. Thousands of civilians had lost their lives and were seriously injured, and the entire country was in collective shock, still trying to make sense of how a coordinated act of terrorism of that magnitude was allowed to take place on American soil.

In the 20 years since 9/11, the events that occurred that morning have been analyzed in-depth from a thousand different angles. Even though the attacks took place in the era just before mobile phones had viable cameras, there are countless images and videos of the event. As well, we now have the 9/11 Commission Report, which compiles interviews from over 1,200 people in 10 countries, and draws upon two and a half million pages of documents to present its findings.

For many people younger than Generation X, 9/11 is a feeling—a grim milestone from their youth—but the details are likely more fuzzy. The timeline visualization above is a high-level record of what happened that morning during the three hours when everything changed.

A chronology of terror

In its most simple form, the 9/11 attacks can be described as a coordinated hijacking of four commercial airplanes, which were then used to fly into high profile targets in New York City and Washington, DC. Here is a summary of the planes involved in the incident:

an infographic of the four planes involved in the crash 

There were four planes involved in the crash.

These four flights play a central role in what unfolded that morning. In the early hours of September 11, 2001, a collection of 19 would-be hijackers made their way through security at airports in Boston, Newark, and Washington, DC.

Our three-hour timeline begins just before 8am, as the first plane involved in the attack leaves the tarmac just outside of Boston. (In situations where the exact time isn’t known, a range is given.)

Sept 11, 2001, 7:59am – American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 carrying 81 passengers and 11 crew members, departs from Logan International Airport in Boston, bound for Los Angeles International Airport.

8:14 – United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing 767, carrying 56 passengers and 9 crew members, departs from Logan International Airport in Boston, bound for Los Angeles International Airport.

8:14 – Flight 11 is hijacked over central Massachusetts. There are five hijackers on board.

8:20 – American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757 with 58 passengers and 6 crew members, departs from Washington Dulles International Airport, for Los Angeles International Airport.

8:42 – United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 with 37 passengers and 7 crew members, departs from Newark International Airport, bound for San Francisco International Airport.

8:42–8:46 – Flight 175 is hijacked above northwest New Jersey. There are five hijackers on board.

8:46 – Flight 11 crashes into the north face of the North Tower (1 WTC) of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99. All 92 people on board are killed.

8:50–8:54 – Flight 77 is hijacked above southern Ohio. There are five hijackers on board.

9:03 – Flight 175 crashes into the south face of the South Tower (2 WTC) of the World Trade Center, between floors 77 and 85. All 65 people on board are killed.

9:28 – Flight 93 is hijacked above northern Ohio. There are four hijackers on board.

9:37 – Flight 77 crashes into the western side of The Pentagon. All 64 people on board are killed.

9:45 – United States airspace is shut down; all operating aircraft are ordered to land at the nearest airport.

9:59 – The South Tower of the World Trade Center collapses, 56 minutes after the impact of Flight 175.

10:03 – Flight 93 is crashed by its hijackers in a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Later reports indicate that passengers had learned about the World Trade Center and Pentagon crashes and were resisting the hijackers. All 44 people on board are killed in the crash.

10:28 – The North Tower of the World Trade Center collapses, 1 hour and 42 minutes after the impact of Flight 11. The Marriott Hotel at the base of the two towers is also destroyed.

10:50 – Five stories of the western side of the Pentagon collapse due to the fire.

Two and a half hours after the first plane left Boston, the iconic “Twin Towers” lay in ruins in Lower Manhattan, and brave first responders and military personnel were scrambling to save lives and secure the country.

Life in America was set on a new trajectory.

Information shockwave

Two decades is a long time in the world of technology and media. Though the communication channels of that era may seem slow by today’s standards, the September 11 terrorist attacks still took place in the age of 24-hour cable news coverage and nascent online reporting.

Add in the fact that New York was (and still is) a linchpin of global media, and it’s easy to see why media coverage of the attack spread so quickly.

an infographic explaining the timeline of the first crash

It took media sites minutes to start coverage of the crash.

Within two minutes of the first impact on the World Trade Center, a nearby camera crew covering New York’s mayoral primary election was already broadcasting a live feed of the burning building to a TV audience. Within three minutes, news of the attack hit the Associated Press newswire, and moments after that, most major networks cut away from scheduled programming to cover the story.

Less than 10 minutes after the impact, President Bush–who was attending an event at a Florida elementary school–was informed of the crash (which at that point was characterized as an accident).

Because media outlets were able to cover the incident so quickly, millions of people witnessed the second plane striking the South Tower in real-time a mere 17 minutes after the first impact. This was a defining moment as millions of people around the world experience the events precisely as they unfolded.

The still-young internet was strained that day. Moments after the impact of the North Tower, the CNN and MSNBC websites experienced a crushing load of traffic that overwhelmed servers. The FBI’s website also experienced issues after posting the images of the 9/11 hijackers later that day.

Lasting impact

The Pentagon has been repaired, and a shiny, 94-story World Trade Center now punctuates the skyline of Lower Manhattan, but not all wounds have healed.

For one, many 9/11 survivors are living with lingering health issues believed to be linked to the toxic smoke from the attack and building collapse. Many others are living with the absence of the nearly 3,000 loved-ones who died during the attacks.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is still a lasting legacy of the 9/11 attacks. When DHS began operations in 2003, it was the largest U.S. government reorganization in the 50 years since the Department of Defense was created. In addition to this largely “hidden” layer of security, people now encounter more vigorous security protocol at airports around the world.

As well, the recent withdrawal from Afghanistan was a reminder that long shadow of the attack is still influencing events today, even two decades later.

Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles - Do What You Can

New second video of "Do What You Can" by Bon Jovi with the awesome Jennifer Nettles.

Love this video completely shot in New York. So many memories I have of that city.

Bon Jovi, Jennifer Nettles - Do What You Can

Dedicated to the everyday heroes fighting to rise above this pandemic.



Hope you will love this awesome lyric.

Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles - Do What You Can

[Verse 1: Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles]
Tonight they're shutting down the borders
And they boarded up the schools
Small towns are rollin' up their sidewalks
One less paycheck comin' through
I know you're feelin' kinda nervous
We're all a little bit confused
Nothing's the same, this ain't a game
We gotta make it through

[Verse 2: Jennifer Nettles & Bon Jovi]
As we wave outside the window
Older loved ones stay inside
Moms and babies blowin' kisses
May be saving someone's life
They had to cancel graduation
It ain't fair to Skype the prom
Our kids sit home in isolation
TV news is always on

[Chorus: Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles]
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

[Verse 3: Jennifer Nettles & Bon Jovi]
The chicken farm from Arkansas brought workers PPE
Not before five hundred more had succumbed to this disease
Honest men and honest women workin' for an honest wage
I got a hundred point one fever, and we still got bills to pay

[Chorus: Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles]
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

[Bridge: Bon Jovi, Jennifer Nettles, Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles]
They built a hospital on East Meadow in Central Park last night
Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store clerks manning the front lines
I saw a Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned off the Broadway lights
Another ambulance screams by (Screams by)
There by the grace of God, go I

[Verse 4: Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles]
Although I'll keep my social distance
What this world needs is a hug
Until we find the vaccination
There's no substitute for love
So love yourself and love your family
Love your neighbor and your friend
Ain't it time we loved a stranger?
They're just a friend you ain't met yet
Oh

[Chorus: Bon Jovi, Jennifer Nettles, Bon Jovi & Jennifer Nettles]
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can (Do what you can)
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

Diana Rigg 2020-09-10 New York Post, Diana Rigg, star of ‘The Avengers’ and ‘Game of Thrones,’ dead at 82

Diana Rigg dies with 82. Actor.

Love her in the Avengers. Just an epic TV Show.

Remembering:

"The Avengers" as Emma Peel (1965-1968, Series 4-5).
"007 On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)".

September 10, 2020 | 9:58am |

Dame Diana Rigg, of James Bond and “The Avengers” fame, has died “peacefully” at 82.

The acclaimed actress known for her role as Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo, the only Bond girl to ever marry 007, Rigg was bestowed her “Dame” title in 1994 for her contributions to all things drama.

The iconic Brit suffered from cancer and died surrounded by her family Thursday morning.

“My Beloved Ma died peacefully in her sleep early this morning, at home, surrounded by family,” her daughter, “Bletchley Circle” actress Rachael Stirling, told the Sun. “She died of cancer diagnosed in March, and spent her last months joyfully reflecting on her extraordinary life, full of love, laughter and a deep pride in her profession. I will miss her beyond words.”

Mastering both film and theater, Rigg earned Emmy, Tony, British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and Evening Standard awards in her long tenure on the stage and screen.

Despite her extensive stage experience, Rigg was perhaps best known for her star-making role in the television series “The Avengers” starting in 1965. There’s hardly a male baby boomer alive whose heart didn’t beat faster at the sight of Emma Peel, her whip-smart, cat-suited character in the mod espionage romp.

“It was a bit frightening,” Rigg, who was in her mid-20s in the swinging ’60s, told The Post in 2018. “Bear in mind, it was 50 years ago. I didn’t know quite what to do with that degree of lust. I’d been in London to drama school and I was [by] no means naive. But to be given that degree of notoriety was a bit of a shock.”

Most recently, Rigg played fan favorite Olenna Tyrell on HBO’s “Game of Thrones” from 2013 to 2015. The character went down in “GoT” history after she admitted to murdering King Joffrey just before being killed herself. She was nominated four times for the Guest Actress in a Drama Emmy for her work on the show.

She also starred on Broadway in “Abelard and Heloise” in 1971. (Her nude scene in the play and critic John Simon’s bitchy assessment of her body generated boatloads of publicity, Variety reported.) She later headlined a revival of Molière’s “The Misanthrope” in 1975 and “Medea” in 1994. She earned a Tony nod each time for best actress in a play — and won for “Medea.”

After shucking her “Avengers” catsuit in 1968, Rigg became a Bond girl — the only one who landed the spy and became Mrs. Bond, while clad in an ahead-of-its-time white jumpsuit. The film was 1969’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” in which George Lazenby played 007 for his first and last time. Rigg didn’t seem to have thought much of him.

“George was untried, unschooled … he was a model, a male model,” Rigg told The Post. “I was brought on board to help him and to give him gravitas.” Alas, she took that gravitas to the grave: Mrs. Bond was swiftly dispatched by the minions of archvillain Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Rigg’s other film credits include the Paddy Chayefsky satire “The Hospital” (1971), Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (1968), “The Assassination Bureau” (1969), “Julius Caesar” with Charlton Heston (1970), “A Little Night Music” with Elizabeth Taylor (1977), “The Great Muppet Caper” (1981), and Bruce Beresford’s “A Good Man in Africa” opposite Sean Connery (1994).

She also hosted PBS’ “Masterpiece Mystery” from 1989 to 2004.

Rigg is survived by a daughter she had with her ex-husband, theater producer Archibald Stirling, actress Rachael Stirling.
