If you see the uncensored OHMSS, the scene where Bond walks into her bedroom, Ruby is nude face down, with the sheet over her butt, you cannot see anything, however, she looks good. She does look very English.

That's ironic about her having bowel cancer, Lois Maxwell died of bowel cancer.

I had more of a crush on the adorable Mie Hama in the prior YOLT. Angela Scoular was also in the original “Casino Royale” spoof, which was chock full of stunning females (chiefly among them a young Jackie Bissett). I forgot that Maxwell had that particular cancer, although she was a bit older than Scoular when she contracted it (and was able to battle it for several years).

I’d also mention when I saw Honor Blackman in some tv special not too long ago, she looked astonishing attractive for someone nearly 80 (she looked like she did in “Goldfinger”, merely with silver hair. If she had a facelift, you couldn’t tell).

One other person, however, where aging was not kind was the Goldfinger girl who got sprayed with the gold paint, Shirley Eaton. My parents saw her at some function here in Nashville several years ago. She, and I kid you not, looked like Charles Gray’s Blofeld when he got dressed up in drag to escape The Whyte House in “Diamonds Are Forever.” =8-0
