British actress Honor Blackman began as a J. Arthur Rank contractee, where she was groomed for demure "English rose" types in films like Fame is the Spur (1947) and Quartet (1948).
Honor would not realize major stardom until 1962, when she was cast as leather-clad karate expert Cathy Gale in the British TV adventure series The Avengers (until recently, U.S. audiences were permitted to see only the Avengers episodes featuring Ms. Blackman's successors, Diana Rigg and Linda Thorson).
Honor was seen in another martial-arts gig as the glorious Pussy Galore in Goldfinger (1964).
She has played a wide variety of roles since, with special emphasis on droll comedy. Through the 80s and 90s to the current day Honor has mostly been seen on British TV, most successfully the weekly series The Upper Hand (1990-93).
