I remember her being painted half in real gold ink and half left off, the part you can't see. it would be too poisoning for her if she was fully coated in gold ink which had the real gold particles in.
An Iconic and ‘shocking’ moment of movie history! Just brilliant!
Great BTS shot of such an iconic moment in cinema history. Definitely one for the photo album!
An iconic image in the James Bond series. It’s great that Shirley Eaton is still going strong. Of course Margaret Nolan also got the gold treatment. She appears in the ‘Goldfinger’ credits.

2moAs a film safety person, any idea what kind of paint was used? I find the safety history of film/ TV so fascinating. The old stunt work, asbestos for snow, etc.
