Margaret Nolan (1943–2020) is best remembered as the golden silhouette in Goldfinger’s opening credits, though her image was often mistaken for Shirley Eaton’s. Born in London, she began as model “Vicky Kennedy” before moving into acting, appearing in Goldfinger and six Carry On films, where her wit and charisma shone. Later disillusioned with typecasting, she reinvented herself as a visual artist, using her own images to critique fame and femininity. Nolan’s legacy goes beyond Bond glamour—she was an actress, artist, and icon who turned objectification into art and left a lasting mark on culture.
