5Her career spanned the 1950s and '60s in many British movies, mostly as a MsFanservice. However, she is most recognized for her roles as Jill Masterson (whose corpse ends up gold-painted) in ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' (of which she's the last surviving cast member), as ThePeteBest in the early ''Film/CarryOn'' films, and as one of the would-be victims in the 1965 film ''Ten Little Indians'' (an adaptation of ''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone''). She also acted in stage productions and did television work, notably [[YouLookFamiliar playing several roles]] in ''Series/TheSaint'', but retired in 1969 due to being homesick for her family.

7Since then, Eaton hasn't made many public appearances. However, she released an autobiography in 1999 called ''Golden Girl'', as well as additional books featuring her artwork and on-the-set photographs when she was acting. She also appeared as herself in a 2003 episode of ''Series/MythBusters'' that investigated if Jill Masterson's method of death was actually possible.
