Film biography

In the film, Pussy Galore is Auric Goldfinger's personal pilot and commander of "Pussy Galore's Flying Circus." Her main objective in the film is to have her flying circus dispense an airborne nerve gas over Fort Knox so that Goldfinger and his communist Chinese allies can break into the U.S. gold bullion depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky and detonate a nuclear weapon.

Bond, with Galore's help, foils Goldfinger's plan by persuading her not to spray the nerve gas over Fort Knox, thus allowing the U.S. Army to close in around Goldfinger and stop his operation. On the plane bound for Washington, Goldfinger plans to kill Galore for her betrayal.

Video Game Appearances

Pussy Galore has made two video game appearances to date. In GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, she appears as Goldfinger's personal pilot and flies a helicopter to transport the protagonist, GoldenEye, to and from missions for Goldfinger. Later after Goldfinger's death, she picks up Goldeneye and while the helicopter was on auto-pilot, they started making out, which was witnessed by Blofeld and Scaramanga. Galore also appears in 007 Legends, where the game depicts her in a role similar to the film, Goldfinger (film). Again, she is Goldfinger's personal pilot, but she ends up assisting Bond's entrance into Goldfinger's study and helps foil Goldfinger's Operation Grand Slam, the same operation described in the film, but was annoyed when Mr. Ling ignores her.
