#4: Shirley Eaton

Shirley Eaton, an acclaimed actress long before her Bond fame, had a successful career in British cinema. She was known for her versatility and charm. However, her brief yet iconic role in Goldfinger (1964) immortalized her in film history.

Portraying Jill Masterson, the unfortunate woman covered in gold paint, Eaton’s character met a tragic end, leaving a haunting visual synonymous with the Bond series. Though she continued her acting career until retiring in 1969, her unforgettable turn in Goldfinger remains one of the most memorable moments in the Bond franchise.
