Very saddened to hear this, a true 1960s icon.

always gave me a wry smile when Austin Powers used to have 'daring' and comedy double entendre bond girl names like Felicity Shagwell in the 90s when Ian Fleming had already given us the first and ultimate pinnacle of perfection with Pussy Galore
The character in the book was drawn much more harshly -Honor made the role her own

Jenny Hanley was also in OHMSS I take it that was John Steed's hat that Oddjob had

Nowadays you cant watch a film or TV programme without a knowing in joke or easter egg Crossover for die hard or in the know cult viewers, eg split second stills of Millennium Falcom in Star Trek, or glimpses of the Enterprise in Star Wars. My favourite in recent times has to be the reference to Withnail and I in a recent episode of Endeavour
But the Avengers were ahead of their time with a crossover reference in 1964. Cathy had left the avengers the season before, and in the episode Too Many Christmas Trees, he has a postcard from Cathy sent from Fort Knox (she was filming Goldfinger at the time)

Sean Connery speaking for every red blooded male and hormonally charged pimply adolescent here :
What a sultry voice and bearing.

Love this from IMBD
'Patrick Macnee was a nudist. Honor Blackman claimed that he once invited her to play tennis in the nude. She politely declined.'
Worth a go Steed

Sigh. Another icon from my youth bites the dust. They told a story on TV this morning that in her teens she was offered the choice of a bike or elocution lessons for her birthday. She chose the elocution lessons and thus eliminated her strong East London accent. Had she made a different choice, would we have been mourning the passing of a great cyclist? Lovely lady, a committed campaigner for the causes she cared about and retained a special aura well into her later years. RIP

I remember seeing the 'Upper Hand' as a 12/13 year old and being confused as fuck why I thought the granny was fitter than the mum.
