Actor Born: 1926 in London, England, UK Biography: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). International stardom ensued when Honor was seen in another martial-arts gig as the gloriously yclept Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger" (1964). She has played a wide variety of roles since, with special emphasis on droll comedy. Honor Blackman's last picture was the 1978 remake of "The Cat and the Canary", though she continues to appear in British television, most recently on the weekly series "The Upper Hand" (1990-93)....
