22 Things You Didn't Know About James Bond

4. Pussy Galore Was Oder Than James Bond

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 Blackman€™s successor in The Avengers, Diana Rigg, who was 31 when On Her Majesty€™s Secret Service was released, playing opposite 30-year-old George Lazenby.
