Honor Blackman, the actress that played Bob Costas Galore in Goldfinger, passed away today.

USA Today article here

She was an avid motorcyclist, and served during WWII.  Things I did not know about her.

God speed!

Edit: forgot about the forum filter...

Quite a lady.  RIP.

I wouldn't have guessed her to be as old as she was.  Starred in Goldfinger (1964) at age 38, and did a darn fine job.  Her film and television credits span eight decades.

I liked her in the Avengers.  Too bad before Diana Rigg the show had a lower budget so her episodes were shot with video.

I read Blackman did a lot of her own tumbling around, once accidently knocked out a stuntman by giving him a knee to the head.

Bob Costas Galore! Forum filter FTW.

Sounds like she was a heck of a lady. RIP.

I'm ashamed to admit reading that after I posted it did make me chuckle.
