Honor Blackman (born 22 August 1925) is an English actress, widely known for the roles of Cathy Gale in The Avengers (1962–64), Bond girl Pussy Galore in Goldfinger (1964), Julia Daggett in Shalako (1968) and Hera in Jason and the Argonauts (1963).
Blackman was born in Plaistow. Her father, Frederick Blackman, was a civil service statistician. She attended North Ealing Primary School and Ealing County Grammar School for Girls.
For her 15th birthday, her parents gave her acting lessons and she started training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1940. While attending the Guildhall School, Blackman worked as a clerical assistant for the Home Office.
Blackman's film debut was a nonspeaking part in Fame Is the Spur (1947). Other films include Quartet (1948), based on short stories by W. Somerset Maugham; So Long at the Fair (1950), in which she appeared with Dirk Bogarde; A Night to Remember (1958), an account of the RMS Titanic; the comedy The Square Peg (1958); Life at the Top (1965) with Laurence Harvey; The Virgin and the Gypsy (1970), and the Western films Shalako (1968) with Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot and Something Big (1971) with Dean Martin.

You, Me & Them is Wednesdays, 10pm, on Gold. The ever glamorous Honor Blackman talks about playing Anthony Head's mum in the new series, and why its much more interesting to play fun and feisty characters.
Here is the adaptation of a famous French song ("La Javanaise" by Serge Gainsbourg) performed by the beautiful Honor Blackman. Honor Blackman was not only one of the most stylish and gorgious British actresses, famous for her characters in the Bond movie "Goldfinger" or in the serial "The Avengers" (1st season), but she was also a fine singer who made one, pretty rare, LP in 1964, entitled "Everything I've got". She made also a funny single with her partner from "The Avengers", Patrick MacNee, "Kinky Boots". Her world-weary style recalls Marlene or Eartha Kitt. Enjoy!

When French Countess Irina Lazaar (Brigitte Bardot) wanders off by herself, she is confronted by Indians, only to be rescued by Shalako (Sean Connery). When the party ignores his warning to leave Indian country, the Apaches -- led by Chato (Woody Strode) -- attack.
