Honor Blackman (born 12 December 1927) played Professor Lasky in Terror of the Vervoids. She was also offered, but declined, the role of Vivien Fay in The Stones of Blood (the role went to Susan Engel).
Blackman's film career dates back to the 1940s and she has appeared in many UK and US films and television shows, including A Night to Remember and Jason and the Argonauts. She is best known for playing two iconic female action characters of the 1960s -- Catherine Gale in The Avengers (a series created by Sydney Newman), and Pussy Galore in the James Bond film, Goldfinger.
Now in her 80s, she continues to act. Some of her recent productions including the film Bridget Jones's Diary and a brief run on Coronation Street.
