Noted the comments made by Patrick MacNee in the Avengers book concerning Barbara Bain. This seems slightly arrogant and patronising as Diana Rigg disappeared from film/tv screens at approx. the same time. It is obviously detrimental to get involved in a contract dispute with a studio, which explains why Bain's acting career lost momentum. Diana Rigg did NOT have the same problem to deal with, so why did Diana Rigg's acting career go thru' a similar downturn?
