Celebrity Monday - Honor Blackman as a Bond girl Pussy Galore in Goldfinger


Please, don't call me "stupid" because I didn't know the real name of one of the James Bond girls, I remember her face in the movie, a very pretty young lady, but seeing her today, I couldn't guess. It was a 1964 movie, aired in Brazil, middle 80's, me, a little girl, who didn't know anything about all this Bond world, the whole movie for me was just action... Growing up I was able to understand the story behind and then wanting to know it's character. But, and a big one, I was only really into the most recent Bond movies (still not a big fan, but my father in law likes it, so...I have watch it) mentioning Halley Berry (there's also a Barbie doll made based on her character), for example, back in 2002.


Honor Blackman (born 22 August 1925)[1][2][3] is a British actress, known for the roles of Cathy Gale in The Avengers (1962–64) and Bond girl Pussy Galore in Goldfinger (1964). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_Blackman)

 
OK, now we are even... we can keep going here.Her hole as a Bond's girl got her a Barbie doll:




Goldfinger Barbie doll - She's a Black label, released in 2009.

Gorgeous, smart, and intriguingly named, the Bond Girls made each 007 movie more exciting. Some were fellow agents or allies, others a villainess. Forever alluring, each Bond Girl joined an exclusive club of extraordinary women.
Goldfinger introduced James Bond to Pussy Galore, Auric Goldfinger’s personal pilot. Although she was working with the villain to create worldwide economic mayhem, Miss Galore could not resist Bond’s suave charms. Ultimately, she helps 007 thwart the evil plan. Barbie® doll pays tribute to a favorite Bond Girl, dressed in a black suit with golden vest. - http://www.barbiecollector.com/shop/doll/goldfinger-barbie-doll-r4465

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
I don't have this doll, but I had seen it in stores. Very in love with her facial features! Have you notice the black dot right up her right eye ? (I'm not too sure why it's there, the actress does not have it), but matches the face, so just leave it alone.

She's gorgeous and elegant. Her facial features are striking and detailed made. I really liked the great job done with the makeup, the eye, with her false lashes perfectly matching her beautifully and sophisticated styled hair.
 
Her outfit is a glamorous three piece pant suit, where action meet the glamourous lightweight thin Model Muse figure.
 
Did you like it?
 
Hope you have a great week!

  1. Though I like the doll and her outfit, I don't think she looks like the original actress...
