My Take
For me, Honor Blackman will always be the gold standard of what a Bond girl could be. Pussy Galore in Goldfinger wasn't there to be rescued; she flipped Bond over her shoulder and held her own, and that mattered. What I admire is how she carried that same blend of poise and steel from Cathy Gale in The Avengers to Hera in Jason and the Argonauts. She made strength look elegant decades before it was fashionable to do so. When she passed in 2020 at 94, the screen lost a woman who proved beauty was the garnish, never the main course.
