Margaret Ann Nolan (29 October 1943 – 5 October 2020) was an English actress, glamour model and visual artist.

Born in Hampstead, London, Nolan initially studied to be a teacher, but playwright and actor Tom Kempinski, whom she was dating at the time and who was acting with the National Theatre, persuaded her to begin a career in acting. However, she ultimately began her career as a model, being briefly known as "Vicky Kennedy" during her glamour modelling career in the early 1960s.

Incidentally, one of Nolan's television roles around the time was appearing in one of the first episodes of ''Series/TheSaint'' with future Bond actor Creator/RogerMoore.

She was also best known in appearing in six films of the ''Film/CarryOnSeries''. In the 1971 film ''Film/CarryOnAtYourConvenience'', composer Eric Rogers referenced Nolan's appearance in ''Goldfinger'' by using its three-note {{Leitmotif}} on a close-up of her. Nolan was given bigger roles in several 1970s ''Carry On'' films, most sizably in ''Film/CarryOnGirls'', where there may have been another reference to ''Goldfinger'' when Nolan is wearing a ''silver'' bikini while she and Creator/BarbaraWindsor are cat-fighting on a hotel floor.

She would retire from acting in the 1980s to take care of her family, after which she would begin a new career as a visual artist, producing photo-collages assembled from cut-outs of her early glamour modelling photographs, which were sometimes grotesque and {{deconstruct|ion}}ed her sex symbol image.

Nolan died of cancer on 5 October 2020 at her home in London, at age 76.
