Eaton herself did not die; she survived the scene, and is alive and well. Even though her character died 20 minutes into the 1964 film, she's a perennial favorite Bond Girl among fans of the series. She's even said to outshine (sorry) Honor Blackman, who as Pussy Galore is the "main" Bond Girl of Goldfinger.
Shirley Eaton wasn't the only golden girl in Goldfinger. The opening credits sequence, which has been hailed as the best of the Bond series and one of the best in film history, also features a gold-painted woman, onto whose glistening body scenes from the film are projected. That was Margaret Nolan, not Shirley Eaton. Nolan also appeared in the movie as the character Dink, who gives 007 a brief massage and then exits.
Although Eaton is still alive, her career did not last long, which may have helped to perpetuate the urban legend. She completed a total of 29 films over the course of her career. She did have some film roles around or after her “death” in Goldfinger, appearing opposite actors such as Robert Culp in Rhino! (1964) and Hugh O’Brien in Ten Little Indians (1965).
She starred as Sumuru in two films, The Million Eyes Of Su-Muru (1967) and The Girl from Rio (1969). Her character was a beautiful but evil woman who sets out to destroy the men and replace them with an army of women. In 1969, At the age of 32, only five years after her role in Goldfinger, she decided to retire. The decision came after the premature birth of her second son, Jason.
