In 1963, during the filming of the film 007 Goldfinger, actress Shirley Eaton, a sexy girl, played Jill Mastson in the film.
At that time, there were no post-special effects, and the shot required her to reveal gold all over her body, and then die due to clogged pores. Therefore, the makeup artist had to use the stupid method of taking a brush to paint gold powder on her.
The process is uncomfortable and takes a long time.
In order to paint her whole body gold, Shirley Eaton's makeup process lasted more than two hours, but the makeup artist seemed to be happy to make up the beautiful woman, and there was no tiredness on her face.
Applying gold powder all over the body will cause clogged pores, and if sweat cannot be discharged, accidents may occur, and in severe cases, it can even be suffocating. The director and others watched the makeup artist at any time on the scene to make up for her, lest it cause the actor to suffocate.
It took a lot of effort to paint her whole body with gold powder, and she had to let the director examine it, and after passing, the performance could begin. In that scene, Eaton is lying naked on the bed, her body completely covered in gold.
The real picture was also shot for less than 5 minutes.
The scene is: Gil-Mastson, who is covered in gold paint, dies of suffocation.
During filming, the producers prepared a doctor for Shirley Eaton, just in case.
It's time to remove makeup next. It's not easy to brush gold powder on your body, but it's even harder to wash it off. As we all know, after the object is painted, it cannot be washed off with water, and it must be scrubbed with a liquid that is fused with the paint, such as gasoline.
In order to remove Shirley Eaton's gold powder paint, the costumer and makeup artist had to scrub it together. Everyone was very busy, holding sponges or cotton yarn dipped in gasoline and scrubbing back and forth on her.
Even so, it can't be completely cleaned up, and the remaining gold paint seems to have seeped into the sweat pores, which should be drained with sweat in the Turkish steam bath.
The film cost $3 million to shoot, more than the budget of the previous two 007 films combined, which was astronomical at the time and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
After the film aired, she became famous for her extraordinary "death" approach in the film. This death scene was also rated as one of the top ten movie death shots.
Fortunately, after the film, her body was not damaged in any way and she is still very healthy.
