Shirley Eaton Biography
Born on 12 January 1937 in London, Shirley Eaton entered cinema legend with a single shot that became iconic.
As Jill Masterson, entirely covered in gold paint in Goldfinger (1964) opposite Sean Connery, she created one of the most famous images in the whole James Bond saga — the “golden girl”. An actress in British comedies in the 1950s and 60s (the Carry On series), she also filmed in the United States before retiring.
A single scene was enough to etch her face into cinema history. Our framed Fine Art photo prints celebrate this legendary Bond girl: the golden woman and portraits, in black and white or, for some, in colour, for a living room, an office or a home cinema.
