Fans and collaborators are paying tribute to actress Honor Blackman, who has died of natural causes at the age of 94.

Blackman is best known internationally for playing iconic Bond girl Pussy Galore in 1964's Goldfinger and Cathy Gale in classic '60s TV series The Avengers, but her highly successful acting career actually stretched out over 70 years.

In 1986, she appeared as Professor Lasky in four episodes of the Doctor Who serial "The Trial of a Time Lord." Then from 1990 to 1996, she starred opposite Joe McGann – brother of Eighth Doctor Paul McGann – in The Upper Hand, a well received British remake of the hit US sitcom Who's the Boss?.

She also appeared frequently on the West End stage and remained professionally active well into her eighties with U.K. appearances in Casualty, Coronation Street, and New Tricks. In 2012, at the age of 86, she even played a gun-wielding senior citizen in the zombie comedy movie Cockneys vs Zombies.

She also scored an unexpected hit single in 1990 with "Kinky Boots," a playful song she had recorded in the '60s with her The Avengers co-star Patrick Macnee.

Director Edgar Wright hailed her as "the ultimate Bond girl," while Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli called her "an extraordinary talent."

Blackman was also known for her staunch liberal-minded principles and revealed that in 2002 she turned down a CBE award from Queen Elizabeth II because she had never believed in the monarchy. After news of her death broke, journalist Tony Paley shared a letter Blackman wrote British newspaper The Guardian after it published an apparently unflattering picture of her.

She is survived by her two children, Barnaby and Lottie, and her four grandchildren, Daisy, Oscar, Olive and Toby. R.I.P. Honor Blackman.
