RIP: Honor Blackman

[thewayne]

She was 94. Famous as the second of Steed's women in the original The Avengers, she preceded Mrs. Peel and left the series to be a Bond girl in Goldfinger. Her death was unrelated to COVID.

BBC had nothing to do with the UKTV Avengers. ABC Television made the original series for ITV.

And to our host: Blackman was the first of the British Avengers' starring women.

Whose episodes I have yet to see with my own eyes. Peel and King eras, yes. Not Gale.
