British actress Honor Blackman is recovering from a bout of pneumonia.

The former Bond girl, 87, fell ill earlier this year (12) and saw her weight plummet as she battled the potentially life-threatening lung condition.

Goldfinger star Blackman tells British news show host Lorraine Kelly, "I lost a lot of weight earlier this year because I got pneumonia and all that kind of thing. I'm alright now. Yes, I'm fine now."
