Re: Honor Blackman...

Honor's War:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11162866

Honor Blackman was born into a lower middle class family in Plaistow, east London, on 22 August 1925.

Her father offered her a choice of presents for her 16th birthday (1941); a bicycle or elocution lessons. She chose the latter.

She described her elocution teacher as an inspirational woman who introduced her to poetry and the theatre and who advised her father to enrol her in the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

She studied part time while holding down a clerical job in the Home Office, and, with war raging, also worked as a motor cycle dispatch rider.
