I Love Pussy Galore

[arwalden]

... she's my favorite Bond-woman. But I wonder if she's my favorite because Goldfinger is my favorite Bond film... or if she would have been my favorite anyway? (Or is Goldfinger my favorite Bond film because of Honor Blackman's character.)


Pussy Galore: My name is Pussy Galore.
James Bond: I must be dreaming.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. It's really...

the name, isn't it?

C'mon, you can tell us.

5. Methinks she's DAME Honor Blackman now. . .

I believe she was given an OBE or DCBE (Dame Commander British Empire) by the Queen for her work in the British theater all these decades.

Did you know she is actually OLDER than Sean Connery?


:wow:

So how did you feel about Honor Blackman in The Avengers?

9. It runs on the, umm, err...

The Avengers runs on the, umm, Mystery Channel
(I think) in the "Starz Superpack" (I'm sure) on various
satellite and cable systems.

You're looking for the first two runs of The Avengers,
(before Diana Rigg and Linda Thorson): '63 and '64 with Honor
Blackman as Cathy Gale.

Here's a URL to whet your appetite:

As the ever-beautiful 'Purdy'

14. Cathy Gale!

She was great. Not as glitzy a show in black and white and you can see many errors in the filming but she was terrific.

I'm pretty sure she left to do "Goldfinger". In fact, in one of the first Emma Peel episodes they make a reference to Pussy Galore. Not by name but it refers to the movie. I'll have to look it up. (I have the whole series on tape.)

10. i thought it was "poozy" or "poosie" (rhymes with "suzie"), not "pussy"

[DrGonzoLives]

12. In Fleming's book

he comes right out and says Pussy is a lesbian. In the movie, it's just kind of suggested; I suspect, had people caught on, that the movie would have been decried a hell of a lot more than it was (which was not at all).

13. I like Pussy Galore, too...
