About Honor Blackman

Honor Blackman (born 22 August 1925) is an English actress, who is perhaps best known for the roles of Cathy Gale on The Avengers and as Bond girl Pussy Galore in Goldfinger.

Blackman was born in Plaistow, Newham, London to a statistician father. She trained as an actress at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, after persuading her father that an appropriate birthday gift would be acting lessons.

Blackman's films include: Quartet and So Long at the Fair with Dirk Bogarde, the 1958 story of the Titanic's sinking A Night to Remember; Life at the Top with Laurence Harvey, The Virgin and the Gypsy, and the Western films Shalako with Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot and Something Big with Dean Martin.
