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. |

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. |
