That Hollywood Reporter biography must have been written a few years ago. Honor Blackman was active through 2015, albeit mostly on British TV.

A 2003 episode of Midsomer Murders titled "A Talent for Life" was built around her character when she was still hot stuff at 77. As someone on IMDb. wrote, "Honor Blackman really is the show stealer, and a massively interesting character, a pity she didn't last a bit longer." The character may not have lasted, but the actress did. She had 24 more credits after that!

More than half a century later, still famous for playing a character whose name would never be countenanced today.
