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.

Overview

Honor Blackman (22 August 1925 – 5 April 2020) was an English actress and singer, known for the roles of Cathy Gale in The Avengers (1962–1964), "Bond girl" Pussy Galore in Goldfinger (1964), Julia Daggett in Shalako (1968), and Hera in Jason and the Argonauts (1963). She is also known for her role as Laura West in the ITV sitcom The Upper Hand (1990–1996).
