There was a whole bunch of us teenage boys that did not know that red hot Pussy Galore was old enough to be our mother.

She was a real badass in life. At 15 she was a motorcycle dispatch rider in London during WWII.

"I was just old enough to ride a bike and my mother was terrified, but I thought it was heaven. It was pretty dangerous because we were in the midst of war and had to mask the headlights during the blackout. Bombs were falling, but the roar of the motorbike engine used to drown out the sound of the doodlebugs (V-1 flying bombs) so we never heard them coming. It seemed terribly exciting to me."
Honor Blackman as quoted by Motorcycle News
She should be remembered for more than just a movie role.
