To boot, you were nothing short of a goddess, portraying the heavenly Hera, in "Jason and the Argonauts" and just as sublime in "Shalako" (again with Sean "007" Connery), "Tale of the Mummy"; "Fright"; "Cockneys vs Zombies"; "To the Devil A Daughter"; "The Cat and the Canary '78"; "Daughter of Darkness '48"; "Orpheus and the Underworld"; "Come Die My Love"; "The Virginian and the Gypsy"; "Conspirator"; "A Matter of WHO"; "Something Big"; "Square Peg"; "Suspended Alibi"; "Serena"; "To Walk with Lions"; "The Delavine Affair"; "The Secret of My Success"; "Breakaway"; "A Twist of Sand"; "The Glass Cage"; "Columbo: Dagger of the Mind"; and the Titanic epic "A Night to Remember". You were also a stand-out as Laura West on the sitcom, "The Upper Hand".
It was beauty and worldliness that you projected, with a sensational sex appeal that would make anyone's head spin. You meant a lot to me, Ms. Blackman and to the world so much more. May you lead Ms. Galore's Flying Circus across the ethereal skies, shading us with your timeless effervescence.
