Actrice en model Margaret Nolan is op zesenzeventigjarige leeftijd overleden. Nolan was onder meer te zien als de goud geschilderde vrouw in de openingsscène van de James Bond-film Goldfinger.

Daarnaast had Nolan een tweede rol in Goldfinger als de masseuse van Bond (Sean Connery) en dook ze op in de Beatles-film A Hard Day’s Night en in vijf komedies van de Britse Carry On-reeks.

Nolans laatste rol was in Edgar Wrights volgende film Last Night in Soho. Wright deelde het nieuws van haar overlijden op Twitter en schreef: “Margaret was scherp, grappig en vertelde tal van geweldige verhalen. Ik ben blij dat ik haar heb gekend.”

It's my sad duty to report that actress and artist, the magnificent Margaret Nolan has passed away. She was the middle of Venn diagram of everything cool in the 60's; having appeared with the Beatles, been beyond iconic in Bond and been part of the Carry On cast too. 1/4 pic.twitter.com/YaEaWDmLt2

She also appeared in five Spike Milligan Q series, Steptoe & Son, The Likely Lads, Morecambe & Wise and The Sweeney. She became deeply involved in political theatre and more recently created visual art; deconstructed her own glamour modelling in a series of photomontages. 3/4 pic.twitter.com/T0Q9qn8LIl

NB. She's also the lone bright and funny spot in the very strange rock comedy 'Toomorrow'. I told her earlier in the year that I had tracked down a copy and she was very bemused that I had bothered to watch it.

We are very sad to learn that Margaret Nolan has passed away at the age of 76. Margaret played Dink in Goldfinger (1964) and also appeared painted gold in the iconic opening credit sequence and on the Goldfinger poster. Our thoughts are with her family and friends. pic.twitter.com/aVIsqkGIxK
