Diana Rigg coming soon in BBC Henrik Ibsen collection



For fans of this extraordinary if unfortunately underused on film actress, just saw that an upcoming Ibsen BBC DVD collection will feature a production of "Little Eyolf" in which she co stars with Anthony Hopkins.
Keeping fingers crossed that it will also feature her Hedda Gabler for BBC, though that seems dubious since the collection will also include Ingrid Bergman's Hedda Gabler.
I have absolutely no idea why Rigg hasn't done more for movies. Saw her a couple of years ago on the West End in "Suddenly Last Summer" as Mrs. Venable and she was absolutely astonishing.
Well, while that plum role in film comes, "Little Eyolf" will surely be an event to look forward to

Thanks for the heads up.
