Honor Blackman
Ex Bond Girl and Avenger, Honor Blackman is a great example of looking beautiful with age as she continues to turn heads at 82.
"I don’t let age get in my way, I come to life when I’m on the stage and it’s my choice to continue working."
"People often comment that I don’t look like your average granny, I have the great fortune to have four grandchildren aged six and under who don’t give me a chance to be a fuddy duddy."
"I get bored with people who bang on about their age as if certain things are expected of you at a certain age. We are all individuals and can shape our lives to a great extent in the way we want. Your attitude to life affects your happiness and your satisfaction."
"I believe you are as young as you feel and your demeanor contributes to how old or young you come across to others. People often think of you in a certain way if you have a particular look or fall into an age category but, they need to keep an open mind. I’m supporting See the Person not the Age campaign as I believe in encouraging people not to make premature judgements – you shouldn’t form opinions of someone until you know them. Age is just a number."
