Margaret Nolan, also known as Vicky Kennedy, (born October 29, 1943) is a British artist and former actress & model.

Career

Born in Hampstead, London to Irish parents, Margaret Nolan adopted the name Vicky Kennedy when she burst onto the 'glamour' scene in the early 1960s. Her best glamour photo modelling work was with Harrison Marks in "Kamera" and other magazines. She later reverted to her birth name of Margaret Nolan and appeared in a number of films and television roles, including "A Hard Day's Night" with The Beatles and the James Bond film "Goldfinger" in the small role of Dink, Bond's masseuse, and several Carry On films, most sizably Carry on Girls. She also appeared in straight theatre, becoming interested in political themes. She was a talented comedian. She also appeared in Playboy magazine following her appearance in Goldfinger in 1965.

In Goldfinger, it was actually her body painted with gold in the titles and advertisements, not Shirley Eaton's as in the narrative of the film.

In a rare interview with Den of Geek [cite web| url=http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/7204/the_den_of_geek_interview_margaret_nolan.html| title=rare interview |publisher=denofgeek.com| date=2007-12] , Nolan talked about moving away from England to Spain and becoming an artist.She currently lives there with her husband and two sons. Nolan's artwork, which mostly consists of photomontages constructed from her old headshots, can be viewed at her official website.

In addition to film and theatre work, mentioned above, she made a number of appearances on TV.

Nolan has two sons.
