*In the 1960s, Honor Blackman was well known as Cathy Gale in Britian’s TV series, The Avengers. (In fact, when she left the show, Diana Rigg, who later played James Bond’s ill-fated bride, took her place.) Blackman’s athletic physique and solid acting skills made Pussy believable despite her fantastic name. Blackman also brought a femininity to Pussy that was lacking in Ian Fleming’s original lesbian take on the character. *Source: Back of card
