Blackman: 'No one sexier than Connery'

Former James Bond girl Honor Blackman has worked with some desirable leading men throughout her epic career, but insists nobody rivalled Sean Connery's sex appeal.

The 78-year-old actress, who played Pussy Galore in the classic 1964 Bond film Goldfinger, was enchanted by Connery, describing him as more of a "knock-out" than her other co-stars, including Dean Martin.

She says of Martin: "He was the most professional person I have ever worked with. He was patient and funny. He was sexy, but not a knock-out, not like Sean. He's very sexy. I think half the world thinks so."
