Shining bright again

The former Bond girl Honor Blackman is apparently taking over from where the late, great Eartha Kitt left off. A song called The Star Who Fell from Grace , which was written for Kitt (she died last year), has now been taken up...

before Pussy Galore pored over it.
That's the worst pun I've ever read! ( Pawed and pored )

Still it's fitting it was to be an Earth Kitt song.

He was one of the best villains (I liked his ironical smile in YOU'VE JUST BEEN MURDERED) and Mr Steed in 1972.

I didn't see the caption - ha! Yes, by 1972 she had cut her hair to a bob with a fringe.

I have a lovely picture of her with that hairdo, from a magazine, in my wall. She almost looks like a teenager, young and relaxed.
