English artist, actor, and former glamour model, Margaret Nolan, famously known as the gold-painted model in the title sequence for the 1964 James Bond film 'Goldfinger', died on October 5.
As per Variety, Nolan's son Oscar Deeks confirmed the demise of the 76-year-old actor. Director Edgar Wright took to Twitter to first announce the news of Nolan's death with a touching tribute.

"I worked with her last year as she plays a small role in Last Night In Soho. She was so funny, sharp, and, as you might imagine, full of the most amazing stories. I'm so glad I got to know her. My heart goes out to her family and all that loved her. She will be much missed," he added.
