She may be celebrating her 90th birthday but Bond girl Honor Blackman is not ready to slow down yet.
Speaking to the Press Association from her house in Spain, she revealed she would still like to travel, watch more theatre and see more movies.
Blackman found international stardom as Bond Girl Pussy Galore aged 38, alongside Sean Connery, in 1964′s Goldfinger.

Also the original “Steed Girl”.
Rules are rules.
The ‘Honor Blackman’ episodes of ‘The Avengers’ have been running on ‘MeTv’ over the past year or two...
She was 38 in Goldfinger?
Wow.
The one that played “Jill Masterson” was absolutely gorgeous though.
“Pussy Galore” was one of the big punch lines of the 1960s. Surprised the censors allowed it.
I was too young to see the reaction, but, can just imagine the reaction in 1964 to the name Pussy Galore. Back in those days, I think there was still some sort of censorship of movies, wasn’t there?
I woke up feeling old today. This didn’t help.
Or as Sean Connery pronounced it, “Poosie”
I doubt they would use Pussy Galore today, but they probably would name the character Cougar Milf.
Bond: "Yes...you certainly are."
I still think jill masterson was hotter. Real name escapes me. But she was painted gold.
I remember her in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, GOLDFINGER, A TWIST OF SAND and SHALAKO.
She was beautiful!
Seriously, between batgirl then wrangler jane.
“Hi, I’m Plenty, Plenty O’Toole!”
Bond- “Named after your father, perhaps.”

There was movie censorship until 1968 when Bobby Kennedy got shot and the US went into a media led hysteria against comic books, pulp fiction, toy guns, real guns, TV very mild violence, and movie violence.
So, comics and pulp fiction changed their covers to less violent ones, guns were “regulated”, toy guns disappeared for a while, TV shows for adults like GUNSMOKE dumbed down to kiddie shows, but the MOVIE producers said they would police themselves with a rating system.
With that the Hays Code died the death and Hollywood began to produce the most bloody and vile movies ever made. Some mild movies had scenes reshot and added to give them an R rating.
I saw a Glen Ford western back in 1969 which was so mild you could drop off the kiddies and not be offended.
I saw that SAME show a year ago, and it would have been given a heavy R rating back then. Several scenes were reshot for European audiences that are now in the American version.
