Pussy Galore Pussy Galore Pussy Galore is a fictional character in the 1959 Ian Fleming James Bond novel "Goldfinger" and the 1964 film of the same name. In the film, she is played by Honor Blackman. The character returns in the 2015 Bond continuation novel "Trigger Mortis" by Anthony Horowitz, set in the 1950s two weeks after the events of "Goldfinger". Blanche Blackwell, a Jamaican of Anglo-Jewish descent, is thought to have been the love of Fleming's later life and his model for Pussy Galore. In Fleming's 1959 novel "Goldfinger", Pussy Galore is the only woman in the United States known to
Bond girl men, though upon encountering Bond they overcome their earlier antipathy and sleep with him not only willingly but eagerly. The cliché reaches its most extreme level in "Goldfinger". In this novel Pussy Galore is portrayed as a practising lesbian when she first meets Bond, but at the end of the novel she sleeps with him. When, in bed, he says to her, "They told me you only liked women," she replies, "I never met a man before." In Fleming's novels, many Bond girls have some sort of independent job or even career, often one that was considered inappropriate for women
