Pussy Galore was lesbian cured by Bond: Ian Fleming

James Bond author Ian Fleming believed Pussy Galore from 'Goldfinger' was cured of her lesbianism by the secret agent, 007.
In a letter to be auctioned by Bonhams in London on November 11, the author writes that the famous Bond girl "only needed the right man to come along".
The letter, which is also included in the just-published collection of Fleming's James Bond letters titled 'The Man With the Golden Typewriter', was written in response to one Dr Gibson, The Guardian reported today.
Gibson had written to Fleming that while he enjoyed 'Goldfinger', "although not a psycho-pathologist, I think it is slightly naughty of you to change a criminal Lesbian into a clinging honey-bun (to be bottled by Bond) in the last chapter".

'Goldfinger' ends as Bond looks into Galore's "deep blue- violet eyes that were no longer hard... He bent and kissed them lightly. He said, 'They told me you only liked women.' She said, 'I never met a man before.'"
In his June 1959 letter to Gibson - estimated to fetch between 3,000 pounds and 4,000 pounds - Fleming writes that Galore "only needed the right man to come along and perform the laying on of hands in order to cure her psycho- pathological malady".

Gibson was among the Bond creator's "most diligent motoring correspondents", according to Fleming's nephew Fergus Fleming.

The letter goes on to thank Gibson for his "kind invitation" for Bond to join the Aston Martin Owners' Club, adding: "Since neither Bond nor his biographer are owners of an Aston Martin, I can do no more than pass your invitation on to head of Admin at the Secret Service from whose transport pool the DB III was drawn."
Fleming adds that he has "in mind a story with motor racing as its background", following Gibson's suggestion that he try writing about Formula One because "nobody has yet written a good novel on the subject".
"I will try and get round to it in due course and shall not be surprised if I then receive a sheaf of acid complaints from experts such as yourself," he tells Gibson.

The author would go on to write a treatment for a television episode 'Murder on Wheels' which features a Grand Prix in Nurburgring in Germany.
The show was never made, but the story was worked into Anthony Horowitz's recently published official 007 novel 'Trigger Mortis'.
