Diana Rigg Siblings: Who Is Hugh Rigg?

Diana Rigg had a brother called Hugh Rigg. There isn’t much information about Hugh Rigg on the internet as he loved to keep his life away from the media.

Rigg made her Broadway debut in Abelard & Heloise in 1971. Her role as Emma Peel made her a sex symbol.

For the role in Medea, both in London and New York, she won the 1974 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play. She was made a CBE in 1988 and a Dame in 1994 for services to drama.

Rigg was a patron of International Care & Relief and was many years the public face of Charity’s child-sponsored scheme.

She was also chancellor of the University of Stirling, a ceremonial rather than an executive role, and she was succeeded by James Naughtie when her 10-year term of office ended on July 31, 2008.
