Honor Blackman (born in London, England on December 12, 1927, although many sources have listed her date of birth as August 22, 1926) is a British actress.
She is mostly remembered for the roles of Judo expert "Cathy Gale" in The Avengers, and as Bond girl Pussy Galore in Goldfinger.
Blackman 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.

Honor Blackman does a one-woman stage show, in which she sings and plays various characters.
Blackman never took the film very seriously, or the trouble caused by the character’s overtly “metaphorical” name – many journalists were too embarrassed to even say it out loud, and some accused her of shamelessness because she didn’t feel the same way.
Blackman, by contrast, became the girl with the fl leather outfits and lethal judo skills.

 The Mick Sinclair Archive: Honor Blackman
An attempted spin-off, a cash-in atrocity if ever there was one, but somehow the blind (or rather deaf) faith displayed by the pair in the fetchingly awful nature of the offering enables a transcending of the taste barrier and the striking of a nerve, not to mention funny bone, in all who hear it.
Radio DJ Kenny Everett gave the thing a dusting off in his World's Worst Record show (Honor: “Best place for it”) gallery of grotesques a few years ago and now, anxious to adjust their reputation from Wimp to High Kicking, Cherry Red have repackaged the whole thing.
The setting is a record plugger's less than modest dwelling in a leafy Ealing crescent and Ms Blackman, despite her 58 years (apparently) is still able to induce, to use a cricketing term, a tickle down the leg side in the average male.
