My name is Catherine aka Comrade Von Pussycat, this blog is a cheeky homage to all of the Bond girls I grew up watching on screen and aspiring to be like. I am a California girl who fell in love, and married a Macedonian boy. We have a cat named Samson who we rescued from the snowy winter streets and who now repays me by humping my leg incessantly...such a creep! Oh, and I also happen to love the 1940's and 1950's, so stay tuned if you love vintage too!

Thank you very much Marcela, I am so glad that you enjoyed the photos!
DeleteI had the great privilege of living with Olga for a time when she was in her 60's. We were in a play together that her son wrote, an homage to his beautiful mother. She was a goddess to the very end, elegant, beautiful and ageless. Thank you so much for posting these photos of her!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim -
DeleteI'm a filmmaker/director working on a film about Olga's life and randomly found this webpage and your comment is like a lightning bolt. If you are available and interested, it would be amazing if the producer of the film and I could speak with you about your time with Olga and the play Faustino wrote. If you are, please let me know and we can exchange contact info.
Cheers,
Anak.
Oh wow! I bet you have some amazing memories of Olga! Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog post, I deeply appreciate it <3
