Pussy Galore dies

Post by ClaretTony » Mon Apr 06, 2020 5:01 pm

Honor Blackman, who played Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, has died.

I’d no idea she’d reached this age but she was 94.

Even in her later years she was still a very smart and naturally attractive woman with striking blue eyes. Blessed with very special genes.

See above.

Pussy No-More.

Great age to get to. Beautiful woman, and a very interesting one too.

Along with Ursula Andreas, she was the archetypal Bond Girl.

An amazingly beautiful woman. For me, one of the `big three` along with Alexandra Bastedo and Deborah Harry.

RIP you talented lady.

Whilst not Bond Girls, I'd put Ann-Margret and Catherine Deneuve firmly in the " top drawer " category from this era .... 8-)

Just my humble opinion but I think Honor was the most strikingly beautiful woman to ever set foot on planet earth.

Just to lighten the mood if I may ....

Anita Ekberg, star of the famous " fountain scene " in the 1960 film, La Dolce Vita, and another beautiful, shapely actress of that era, passed away in 2015. Her obituary reported that she'd accompanied Bob Hope on a US Army concert tour, to entertain the troops in Vietnam, many of whom hadn't seen a western woman in months.

" I'd like to introduce you to Miss Anita Ekberg ! " ( cue rapturous applause from 8,000 troops as she walks on ), " Gentlemen, you won't be surprised to learn that her parents won the Nobel prize for Architecture ! " ... :lol:
