Foreword by Mickey Spillane. Introduction by Jonathan Coe. Illustrated and Indexed.
Shirley Eaton - star of Goldfinger, three Carry On films and many other international comedies and thrillers - takes a sideways look at her remarkable career and the way in which film glamour was created and marketed in the 1950s and 1960s.
Signing up with Alexander Korda, the Bond and Carry On films, Hollywood, Pinewood and African crocodiles all come under Shirley's humorous microscope. There are candid memories of the Doctor in the House series with Dirk Bogarde and work with Hammer, Peter Sellers, Bob Hope, Lloyd Bridges and others in the 1960s.
This book is rounded off by a look at how images of glamour have changed from the studio years of the 1930s and 1940s to the present day - and at how enduring movie icons such as Monroe, Garbo, Taylor and Bardot transcend the eras that created them.
