20 Actors Who Died In 2020

2. Honor Blackman

Black Panther Chadwick Boseman

The world lost yet another legendary James Bond performer this year with the passing of Honor Blackman, best known for portraying perhaps the quintessential Bond girl, Pussy Galore, in Goldfinger.

Blackman also made a name for herself playing Cathy Gale in The Avengers, and post-Bond had memorable roles as Julia Daggett in Shalako, Hera in Jason and the Argonauts, and Laura West in the TV sitcom The Upper Hand.

Proving she wasn't ever one to take herself too seriously, her final movie role was in the hilariously-monikered horror-comedy Cockneys vs Zombies back in 2012, where she become one of cinema's few octogenarians ever to handle a machine-gun on-screen.

Blackman died from natural causes on April 5 at the age of 94.
