X-Treme Flash In The Pan Babes - 1960's Edition
Tania Mallet aka Tilly Masterson in Goldfinger. Her entire movie career consisted of showing up just long enough to get whacked by Oddjob. A shame, too. I know that Honor Blackman, as Pussy Galore, is considered one of the heavyweights among Bond Girls, but her voice has always grated on me. I'd have much rather seen more of Mallet.

Posted by: derringdo at July 20, 2005 10:18 AMI actually have a draft post sitting in MT in which Oddjob is featured . . . strange. I need a picture of Bond villain minions (jumpsuit guys) milling about a lair in order to complete the post.
I was gonig to life a pic from my Dr. No DVD, but haven't had the time. This weekend, perhaps.
