Honor Blackman's Height
5ft 5 (165.1 cm)
British actress best remembered for appearing in movies like Goldfinger (as Pussy Galore), Jason & The Argonauts, The Avengers and Cockneys Vs Zombies. On TV, she played Cathy Gale in The Avengers. Her agency listed her height as 5ft 6, although in a 2008 edition of Daily mail she is quoted giving her height and weight, "I am only 2lb heavier than I was as a teenager (I'm 5ft 4in, and weigh 9 st)".
I met her in 2010 (I had half inch more sneaker than her footwear), she had clearly lost a few inches of height.

How tall do you think Tania Mallet would have been when she was in Goldfinger?

Honour’s boyfriend in ‘To The Devil - A Daughter’, played by Anthony Valentine, was 182cm. It’s hardly surprising that Honor looks rather petite next to him!
The late, lovely lady gets 5” over 5ft. 🕯💐

I should really give Honor a flat 5ft5, having seen her recently in To The Devil A Daughter. This was the last Hammer film for many a long year.

I'm watching Honour in an episode of 'Midsomer Murders', playing an extravagant aunt to a lady called Rebecca. She is cast as Aunt Isabelle.
Rather a drastic contrast to her part with Christopher Lee in the last Hammer Horror for many years, 'To The Devil A Daughter', in which she comes to a sticky end! 😣

5ft5 peak, 5ft3.5 now. I must say, I thought Honor was nearer the 5ft7 mark!

I've never seen or heard anyone named Honor before. Does that name derive from the word "honor" or it's unrelated?

Editor RobYeah I've rarely seen her name used, can't remember anybody else called it. I'm not convinced she was a full 5ft 6 in her prime, but today she might have shrunk another inch since I saw her 6 years ago.

Don't the British spell "Honor" as "Honour"?

Editor RobYes, but that is how her name is spelt.
It is a shame that there was variations in English. I tend to stick to typing mostly in English, but am well aware that the majority of visitors to the site are American and am aware of most variations.

Honor is on TV at the moment in a comedy horror called 'Cockneys vs Zombies' and she is playing an old lady in a care home! What a good sport she must be! It's full of swearing and very funny!
You can see she isn't the height she was in her earlier films. She starred in the Hammer film 'To the Devil a Daughter', where she played a well-spoken lady and starred with the late, great Christopher Lee and Richard Widmark. There she was still her full 5ft5, I'm sure. That film was made in 1976 and she was still in her glamorous prime then.
Now she looks 5ft3 at most but believe me, this is hardly a film which is going to show her at her best!
I think it's wonderful to still see her acting! 🏆💐

Rob, is 5'4.5 peak possible? Honestly Brigitte Bardot looks an easy 2 inches taller in Shalako.

Rob, d' you reckon they must have consumed gold beverages on set of Goldfinger which made them age so wonderfully? You rarely see such attractive older women. Both Blackman and Eaton were stunning in Goldfinger, especially Eaton and still look almost as good.Surprised to see Honor this short though I always thought of her as about 5 ft 6.

Editor Rob being about 80 can easily knock 2 or even 3 inches off...yes, they were the kind of women in their heydey that I'd have crawled over broken glass for a chance with.

5'6 at peak is right . She was clearly taller than Harriet Andersson (5'4.5) in Kampf um Rom just like she was taller than Francesca Annis in the first episode of "Tommy & Tuppence" .

Not as tall as 5'6 at peak,more 5'5. Just watched an early Columbo episode and she was shorter than Falk and Richard Basehart who looked similar to Falk.
