In this print from 1967, we witness the passing of the torch in the world of espionage and intrigue. A press reception at London's prestigious Savoy Hotel celebrates the arrival of Linda Thorson, a talented Canadian actress chosen to succeed the iconic Diana Rigg in the popular television series "The Avengers". At just 20 years old, Thorson emerged victorious among a pool of 200 actresses vying for this coveted role.

The anticipation surrounding this new chapter is palpable as fans eagerly await Thorson's debut alongside her seasoned co-star. This image encapsulates not only a significant moment in entertainment history but also represents progress and evolution within an industry that continuously seeks fresh faces and talents.
