Upon graduation, her father once again influenced her career by suggesting that she audition as an understudy in a West End play, "The Guinea Pig". When the show's lead actress fell ill, Honor had her first "big break." This led to her first film appearance, a non-speaking part in "Fame is the Spur", wherein she was killed by a cavalryman--and she was nearly killed for real by a horse that stepped on her hair while she was lying on the ground.
