Honor passed away a couple days ago (and not to CV-19). To most Americans, she’s most famous for being Pussy Galore in Goldfinger but I also knew she was one of the first two Avengers before Diana Rigg replaced her to make the show more famous. My good friend Steve B read the original Ian Fleming novels too and told me something the movie version of Goldfinger never tells you, Mrs. Galore was a lesbian. Given Fleming’s 19th Century mindset, I’m guessing that Bond was so great, he got her to change teams, namely in betraying Goldfinger to save America’s gold reserve.
Thanks for being an early female action star Honor! You paved the way for many, many more and my ongoing crush for Diana Rigg/Mrs. Peel.
