RIP Honor Blackman

She was very talented as well as a knockout.

My brother was big into Avengers (reruns), so I knew her as Cathy Gale. She is probably better known to most as ***** Galore. [huh... well... that would be P u s s y G a l o r e]

Rest well, dear woman. You were a gem.

I can't believe she was 94.

Well, she was playing Cathy Gale the year I was born.

She was 39 when Goldfinger was filmed. Oldest Bond "girl" ever. She was five years older than Connery.

Love the picture her as a motorcycle dispatcher during WWII ...

RIP Honor Blackman

Honor was a fitting name somehow. That always made me smile.

Extraordinary.

But Madonna was the oldest bond "girl." She was 44 when she was the bond girl in Die Another Day (2002).

I looked up their age difference too when I first read the news of Ms. Blackman’s passing.

Goldfinger was the first Bond movie I saw. I was in college then and six of us crammed into a Yellow Cab to go downtown where it was opening.

Great memories. RIP Ms. Blackman.
