Shirley Eaton, standing at exactly 5ft 6 (167.6 cm), embodied the petite yet striking glamour of 1960s cinema, particularly as Bond girl Jill Masterson in Goldfinger (1964), where her height perfectly suited the iconic golden-painted scene that defined her career.
Her slender 5ft 6 frame graced roles in films like Carry On Sergeant, Carry On Nurse, The Naked Truth, Ten Little Indians, and The Million Eyes of Sumuru, enhancing her image as a versatile British actress and model. Eaton once noted, "I have been 9st throughout my career and still am now (I'm 5ft 6in)".
Retiring from acting, her 5ft 6 stature continues to inspire her art, featured in books like Golden Girl: Shirley Eaton - Her Reflections and Shirley Eaton, Bond's Golden Girl: Her Own Art Gallery.
