I have been married since the early 90s so it does not matter to me.
Yea, I understand the thread was about the actress that played a character with the most unlikely name ever. Remember James Bond's reply to her when he she introduced herself? That name was not just a typical Bond girl name.

Pussy Galore was the leader of a band of all lesbian criminals in the Ian Flemming novel. They were trapeze artists taken to cat burglaries.
There's your connection and it carried over into the film but they were transformed into a band of stunt pilots. Sorta lost the meaning there so people took it as something else.
Even then, the film character PG blocked all of Bond's advances until the last scene. Which is why Hollywood scripts are such as they are. Feel good, sell tickets.
In the book PG and Bond are the only survivors of a hi-jacked airliner crashed somewhere tropic and are rescued by boat where they have separate quarters. They do finish out the end of the book with a suggestive kiss.
The free sex of the hippie movement was not yet a phenomenon although its existence was becoming somewhat more popular at the time of release of "Goldfinger." Bear in mind that filming took place in 1963 and Woodstock was in '69.
Yes, those were explosive times but I don't think Pussy Galore was any part of it nor influenced any of it.
