First time I saw Honor Blackman would have been in the Upper Hand if anyone remembers that. Certainly lived up to the glamour granny role.

She was the most glamorous Granny to ever walk the planet in that. She starred in that with a young Kellie Bright now of EastEnders fame.

Such a cool looking dude with his good looks & black leather waist coat in The Virginian.

That's right - he played a thuggish miner.

I remember a Randolph Scott line from that film: "Good fight - I enjoyed it." Joel McCrea had just KO'd somebody with a single punch!

Yes , great performances from both actors in the swan song of their careers. Very poignant ending in the last scene of the film as McCrea lies dying after the gunfight.

Oh and on the day I post up that Bond film thread. Don't think she had any votes last time I looked.

RIP

Something completely different Al. My daughter Hayley always liked Ms Blackman to the extent she named my granddaughter after her. Hon recently wrote to Ms Blackman and received at letter from her agent saying she was deeply touched and wished her well in her emerging acting career. My link shows the film 'Decrypted' which is expected to be released in December. Looking down the cast list you will see Honor Davis-Pye plays young Beth. Looking at the photos I'm sure you will recognize Dorchester..
