In 1964, when Goldfinger was released, Sean Connery was a youthful 34. But that same year, Honor Blackman, who played Pussy Galore, turned 39. Not only is she the oldest-ever Bond girl (second oldest is Maud Adams in Octopussy) she is one of only two Bond girls to be older than the actor playing Bond. The other is Blackmans successor in The Avengers, Diana Rigg, who was 31 when On Her Majestys Secret Service was released, playing opposite 30-year-old George Lazenby.
