Don't think this has been mentioned here, but for those unaware Diana Rigg gave and hour long conversation about her professional career. She spoke about the filming of OHMSS and working with Lazenby, and gave her version of that garlic eating story. Rigg talking about OHMSS is very rare, and i've not known her speak about it publically since OHMSS was filmed.

Thanks for the link. Wonderful interview. Nice to hear her put the story straight about Lazenby from what she observed. I totally believe the Dame's account
is spot on.

The video is not viewable in my part of the world--would anyone be able to give a short synopsis of Rigg's comments on her OHMSS experience?
Yes. Same problem here.

The OHMSS bit is in the first few minutes and at 34 minutes. She is full of praise for the film and Lazenby's performance in the film. She hasn't always been so however.
Even Joanna Lumley's new book "Absolutely" praises the film and Lazenby.

She talks about how difficult Lazenby was on set. Whilst she concedes that his performance was good and he looked great, she says that he was "the architect of his own downfall" and that he was throwing his weight about on set throughout the production and acting like "the star" he imagined he was.
She acknowledges that she was basically there to be the "professional actor" partnering Lazenby who was "a model". She also denied the garlic eating reports and declared that she was proud to have done the film.

"I know why I did it….George Lazenby was ill-equipped. He was a model, a male model. I was there to steer him through and give it some gravitas."
On working with Lazenby: "He was really difficult. It’s not for nothing they didn’t offer him any sequels. He was just difficult…He thought he was a film star immediately and started throwing his weight around."
I guess she didn't know that Lazenby had decided not to do any further Bond movies.
