Dink is a masseuse of the hotel Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel. A minor character and Bond girl, she appeared brielfy in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger and was portrayed by British actress and model Margaret Nolan.

Biography[]

Dink massages James Bond at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel, at which he is staying, until his CIA friend Felix Leiter arrives, who comments that he knew he'd find Bond in good hands. Bond then introduces Leiter to his masseuse, then tells Dink to say goodbye to him because they are about to share some "Man talk." The spy then slaps her backside as she leaves the scene. Later, when Bond is knocked out by Oddjob and returns to consciousness, he finds a woman's body painted in gold. Horrified, he immediately reports this to Felix by saying "the girl is dead". As Felix was last with Bond when he was with the masseuse, he first asked if the dead woman was Dink.

Behind the Scenes[]

Margaret Nolan painted in gold (with projected image of Bond And Pussy Galore across her torso) was the main iconic image used for most of the promotional materials for the film, posters, record sleeves, books etc. Her body was used as the main 'canvas' for the projected images throughout the entire opening title sequence, described as "Gorgeous, iconic, seminal".

Following the titles sequence, we next see Nolan as Dink. The scene culminates with Bond slapping Dink on the backside as she walks away, this has gained some notoriety in online discussions of the film as by modern standards as it doesn't sit all that well with the gentlemanly conduct you would associate with Bond. Nolan had no problem with the scene and enjoyed working with Connery.
