Back during the kung fu movie craze in the late 'seventies, I liked to go to libraries and look at books on martial arts. One was a book on self-defense by Honor Blackman which seemed to focus on Judo techniques she used a lot on TV. She demonstrated that thing they always do that I never understood. You grab a person by one hand and somehow flip them. I think in reality you would just really hurt their arm.
Blackman appeared in the British series The Avengers for a couple of seasons then, at 39, left to play Pussy Galore in Goldfinger.
Honor Blackman has died at age 94.
