Scully Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) The thread about bumping into Maggie Philbin started by Malkiserow had me thinking about my childhood crushes (bit of a slow day) so thought I'd post this picture after giving her a google. Many beautiful women have played a part in my life (not many of them knew much about it admittedly) as a growing lad but this one along with Helen Mirren will always remind me of yesteryear and my first stirrings and appreciation of a beautiful woman and the effect they can have on the male member gender. Anyhow, I first saw her on TV in black and white in one of the biggest series then around; colour TV would reveal she had the most beautiful clear blue eyes. I was smitten, and can remember feeling let down when I read it was claimed she had an affair with her even more famous co-star. Anyone recognise her? First correct answer out of the hat gets an equal share in my latest business opportunity just arrived this morning which is $9million from the West Africa Bank in Burkina Faso, kindly donated by their accounts officer a Mr Moussa Bame. Seems a nice fella. Anyhow, here she is: Edited to add: maybe I should have slotted this in the Maggie Philbin thread as it seems nostalgia is the way it's going anyway, but didn't want to hijack it. Mods can join the two if they feel they should. Edited March 26, 2015 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmydean Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Lynda (something) played in the Avengers for a short while. If I remember correctly, came from New Zealand? Always remember her northern hemispherical development. Joanna Lumley (my choice) has been gorgeous most of her life but sadly the picture I was going to post has been vetoed as " you cannot post that extension on this site " or some such. Pity.

Well that didn't take long. You can have that JD as a quick google of the Avengers will now give it away. Linda Thorson. Don't forget to PM me your bank details to claim your prize.

Thunderbird Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Was a bit weird recently, watching Diana Rigg in On her Majesty's Secret Service (the Avengers too obviously) and then her recent appearance on Doctor Who.
