wow. She does not look 90. Either that or I will always remember her as Mrs. Gale.

I'd always thought Honor was born in August 1926, not 1925. Happy belated 90th birthday

Amazing to think she was nearly 39 when she last played Cathy, and when she also played Pussy. She still looks amazingly young

especially in an era where 39 was considered over the hill as an actress.

Paul O'Grady mentioned on his Radio 2 show that he's just recorded bonus features for an Australian DVD release of The Avengers with Honor Blackman.

The Talking pictures channel (Sky channel 343) is showing Honor's 1955 film, The Delavine affair this Thursday at 3.45pm. It's a thriller also starring Gordon Jackson. Only 64 minutes in length, so I imagine this is a B movie, but might be worth a look.

I've tried to find this story on the net. Has she definitely retired from acting? She was in 'You me and them' on GOLD TV last year and I did read an interview where she said she had read herself somewhere that she was supposed to have retired, but she said she had no plans to. If you've heard that she has, I wonder if she's had a change of heart.
