Group of 2 (two) vintage 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy color copy photographs (not vintage original photos printed at the time they were taken) from the classic James Bond 007 film, GOLDFINGER, released in 1964 by United Artists and directed by Guy Hamilton. Based upon the novel by Ian Fleming, while investigating a gold magnate's (Gert Fröbe) smuggling, James Bond (Sean Connery) uncovers a plot to contaminate the Fort Knox gold reserve. The first of two color photographs depicted features a great behind-the-scenes image of actress Shirley Eaton (as Jill Masterson) having gold paint literally painted on to her body with a paint brush as the tips of her breasts are covered by a small conical cover as a vintage reel-to-reel tape recorder sits in the background. The second of two photographs depicts a scene of Miss Eaton from the film itself as she lies dead from her body being covered with paint. Both photographs, which were most likely printed in the 1980's, are in very fine+ condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws. Shirley Eaton underwent two hours of make-up application which involved being gold-painted to become a gold painted corpse. Author Ian Fleming had borrowed the notion of someone being suffocated to death by being covered in gold paint from the horror movie, Bedlam (1946). However, "skin suffocation" by being coated in gold is a complication that, contrary to popular belief, has no basis in fact. The belief depends on the incorrect supposition that respiration occurs, at least in part, through the skin, a fallacy that has been discredited in scientific circles since the Renaissance. Despite periodic debunking in the popular media (especially noteworthy is a 1978 column of the syndicated newspaper feature, "The Straight Dope", and a 2003 episode of the Discovery Channel series, MythBusters (2003)), a widespread belief in the myth of "skin suffocation" still exists, further bolstered by urban legends that Eaton had actually died on set from skin asphyxiation. In fact, careful precautions were taken during the shoot. A doctor was on set at all times, and Easton's stomach was left bare to allow for "breathing". Her shots lasted less than five minutes in the finished movie and the filming of them was shot quickly, wrapped in a morning's work. Then she was scrubbed down by the wardrobe mistress and the make-up girl, and sweated off the remaining gold in several Turkish baths. Eaton is still very much alive as of March 2019. Although skin suffocation is impossible, due to the fact that the skin is the main surface for temperature exchange through its pores, one can die from extreme overheating if the pores of the skin are covered for too long.
