    A sad time for anyone with a love of film. Max Von Sydow was truly a great actor, who will be very missed.
    RIP.

    American actor Vincent Marzello has passed away at the age of 68. He played a U.S.S. Wayne crewman in TSWLM, and Culpepper in NSNA.

    Oh no! Strangely, I was only thinking about her yesterday and that she was coming 95 this year. Honor Blackman was an iconic Bond actress as Pussy Galore. I also liked her role in an episode of my other favourite show Columbo. I also remember her appearing in The Upper Hand when I was growing up.

    Bless R.I.P. Honor Blackman what an incredible life she had.

    Outside Bond Honor was in one of my favourite Greek Myth films which I will watch later in tribute to Honor, Jason and the Argonauts


    Cathy Gale... I watched The Avengers frequently in my youth, my parents were fans of the show.

    UK viewers may remember The Upper Hand 90's sitcom with Honor, here is Honor with another Bond Legend Anthony Newley.

    Honor was one of my favourite aspects of GOLDFINGER. Part of a stellar cast, this is such a saddening loss to the Bond family. Nonetheless, 94 is great innings and she lived one heck of life!

    RIP Ms Galore!

    Just a little sketch of Pussy Galore I did years ago, nothing special but something of a tribute all the same!

    I was just thinking of her longevity the other day. Always smiling and warm in the interviews I've watched. So sad. Her and Claudine Auger, two of the most memorable of the main Bond girls/women are gone.

    Man oh man, what a loss. Such an iconic character and one of the better Bond girls of the series. RIP, Honor Blackman. I'm happy that she was able to live a long and fruitful life.
  • RIP to a great woman. She will be missed.

    So sad. She was a great supporter and ambassador of the franchise and arguably the series most iconic leading lady.
    I’m sorry she never got to see NTTD.

    RIP Honor Blackman (1925 – 2020).

    As with many in the US, I mostly remember her as Pussy Galore, “Jason and the argonauts” and a role in one of the early episodes of TV’s “Columbo.” Later, in the early 1990’s when the “Cathy Gale” episodes of The Avengers started to air in the US for the first time, I really discovered how truly ground-breaking she was.

    A life well led.

    A light has gone out in my life, honestly. My favourite Bond woman. I first saw her in Dr Who, then The Upper Hand, and I always had kind of a thing for (OK, enormous crush on) her. Amazing looks, wonderful voice, kickass on and off the screen.

    My flatmate is a big Avengers fan and we'll be watching a Cathy Gale episode tonight while drinking gin & tonic.

    A beautiful woman within lovely voice who lived a very long life. Close call between Jason and the Argonauts and Goldfinger as my favourite performance of hers.

    First Claudine now Honor. Two of the greatest ever Bond girls. Though they are now gone, what they gave to all of us will stay forever. RIP Miss Blackman.

    RIP Honor Blackman. Probably the most know Bond girl of all time Pussy Galore.

    RIP Pussy. Strangely, I just read last night in SOME KIND OF HERO how Patrick Macnee tals about Cubby luring Honor away for GF on short notice..
  • RIP beautiful Honor Blackman. Was fortunate to meet her a few years back at an autograph signing event. Elegant and charming. Rest tight Pussy x
