It would be hard to tell your grandchildren that the high point in your career was playing a character named “Pussy Galore.”

I still think Thunderball was the best Bond flick.
Remember the old story of how the gold girl in Goldfinger died filming that scene? Not true.

Natural causes.
When my great-uncle died at 94 New York State listed his cause of death as "tobacco use" because he chewed snuff.

He responds to lively debate by posting algebra questions, trying to prove he's smarter than you.

“Yeah they slipped it through somehow. Lol”
This was discussed in one of the Bond documentaries on DVD.
If you listen to the way Sean Connery says “Pussy”, he kind of says “Pu-SAY”. This is not his Scottish accent. He was directed to say it that way so that the censors wouldn’t get all riled up.

Wrong.
Beautiful people are beautiful inside and they remain so. It translates to the outside.
However, there are many older people who still look great even at older ages. Depends upon genetics.

I had no idea she was 40ish when she appeared in Goldfinger. I was in my early twenties and drooled like most other guys.

So THAT’S why today’s boys are having trouble figuring that out... no Diana Rigg on TV!
:-) :-)
P.S. - Steed’s first partner in “The Avengers” was actually a male. Honor Blackman didn’t come on-board until Season Two.

Even today, April 6th, 2020, the world has become a little bit less beautiful and fun place.
RIP, condolences to her family and bazillions of fans.

The Hays office was still in effect in 1964. But in the U.K. the word is more closely associated with cats.
