Then she said that Gale, which she plays on ITV had given her the tough-girl image vital for her new part. Honor is to star opposite Sean Connery in Ian Fleming's thriller "Goldfinger". She plays the part of Pussy Galore, lieutenant to an international gold smuggler, and pilots his plane. "She's bad, of course, and she's tough," said Honor.

Honor had married actor Maurice Kaufmann six months before being cast as Cathy Gale. The couple would often help each other learn lines for upcoming performances, and "The Avengers" was no exception. They enacted many Avengers scripts together at home, and this habit was even noted in a TV Times article in November 1963, with a photo of Kaufmann complete with a walking stick which doubled for Steed's umbrella!
Before Emma Peel took up with John Steed, that intrepid British spy had another partner in the shapely form of Honor Blackman in the TV series The Avengers. The actress played Cathy Gale, a leather clad, karate expert who helped Steed round up the usual suspects. After two seasons on the show, and just as the producers were making a deal to bring the series to America, Blackman quit.
