Honor Blackman, who played Cathy Gale on The Avengers and Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, has died aged 94.
“It’s with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Honor Blackman aged 94,” her family told The Guardian. “She died peacefully of natural causes at her home in Lewes, Sussex, surrounded by her family. She was much loved and will be greatly missed by her two children Barnaby and Lottie, and grandchildren Daisy, Oscar, Olive and Toby.
“As well as being a much-adored mother and grandmother, Honor was an actor of hugely prolific creative talent; with an extraordinary combination of beauty, brains and physical prowess, along with her unique voice and a dedicated work ethic, she achieved an unparalleled iconic status in the world of film and entertainment and with absolute commitment to her craft and total professionalism in all her endeavours she contributed to some of the great films and theatre productions of our times.”
Blackman also appeared in the 1963 Jason and the Argonauts as well as Doctor Who’s The Trial of a Time Lord, opposite Colin Baker and Bonnie Langford.
