Corrected entry: Shirley Eaton, who was painted from head to foot in gold paint for the famous shots, had to undergo 2 hours of make-up for the scene. During that time, she was closely monitored by medical experts, to avoid the epidermal asphyxiation - skin suffocation - that her character "Jill Masterson" died from. The idea was based on a real Swiss fashion model who painted herself and subsequently died.

Correction: This is an urban myth. No-one has ever died from covering one's whole body with gold paint, white paint, or any color paint. Anyway, go here and look. http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/goldfing.htm.
