Lol righhht?!

I thought it was gonna because the crew was being difficult but it’s actually her!

Right. I’m curious if something is lost in a “you had to be there” sort of way because that anecdote is not cute, lol.

It reminds me a lot of the Maggie Smith anecdotes from Downton. I think it's just meant to be funny because she's old and over it.

"Now, she can’t walk fast. She has to be helped. So basically we just sat there and watched as Diana Rigg effectively did her own version of storming off the set, but it was at 0.1 miles per hour."

lol!

I aspire to be that level lol.
