Shirley Eaton Career

Career

Eaton appeared on stage and on television, appearing in variety shows around the country, as well as appearing in numerous films in many genres throughout the 1950s. Eaton took part in the British heat of the 1957 Eurovision Song Contest in London.

Eaton appeared with many of the best British male comedy stars of the period, including Jimmy Edwards, Max Bygraves, Bob Monkhouse, and Arthur Askey throughout her career. Peggy Mount, Thora Hird, and Dora Bryant were among Eaton's female co-stars. She co-starred with Tom Drake in Three Men in a Boat (1956) and Date with Disaster (1957). She appeared in The Belles of St Trinian (1954), two of the "Doctor" film series, three early Carry On films, and was a member of the Crazy Gang in Life Is a Circus (1958).

Eaton performed in The Girl Hunters (1963), in which Spillane played his own literary creation Mike Hammer, Eaton gained comedy roles by appearing opposite Mickey Spillane. She appeared on stage in Come Blow Your Horn during the 1962 London shooting. She appeared on three episodes of The Saint, starring Roger Moore, including the pilot. She appeared in a 1962 episode of the British television show Man of the World as the pilot for the TV series The Sentimental Agent. Our Man in the Caribbean, a 1963 feature film of the series, featured her episode.

Eaton received the most coveted award for her role in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger (1964). In her gold-painted persona, she appeared on the front of Life magazine. Eaton's death, as well as being portrayed head to tail in gold paint and suffering "skin suffocation," contributed to an urban legend that Eaton died during filming. To dispel the myth, she appeared in a 2003 episode of the series MythBusters to deny it.

Eaton made only a few more films after Goldfinger, including a pair for Ivan Tors, Rhino! (1964) and Around the World Under the Sea (1966), a Harry Alan Towers version of the Agatha Christie mystery Ten Little Indians (1965), plus the title role of Sax Rohmer's Sumuru (1967) and the Girl from Rio (1969) Everdream (1966) in a 1967 interview. I hated being away from my baby Jason and his brother Grant. However, I did enjoy being the wicked lady Sumuru in two rather bad movies, which I had not had the opportunity to see before. I do think they have now become cult films."
