I think the movie censors back then thought the name was in reference to a cat.

Forrest Compton, who played Colonel Gray on Gomer Pyle, UPMC, has also passed away at the age of 94.

And neither one from coronavirus apparently.

Beauty is fleeting, it certainly doesn’t last very long.

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation” (Hebrews 9:27-28).

Enjoyed her work. Most memorable character name in the history of film (thanks, Mr. Fleming). RIP.

When i was in 3rd grade my teacher thought I was a slow learner. After extensive testing her assumption was wrong. My father solved the problem by giving me a book to read called Goldfinger. When I got to the part about P.G. you couldn’t take that book out of my hands. I’ve read every Fleming book several times. Thanks Pussy!

What will the earth do without Pussy Galore?

Invent social distancing.

Honor convinced me at an early age that I was not gay.

Not just beauty, but life itself. Even 94 years.

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
James 4:14
