Margaret Nolan (Vicky Kennedy)

Born in 1944 of Irish parents and raised in Hampstead, London. After changing her name to Vicky Kennedy she quickly found work with Harrison Marks, who was already established as the top glamour photographer in the country and through his publications Vicky Kennedy, along with June Palmer and Pamela Green, became very popular the world over and appeared in numerous publications for Marks and others.
Vicky, with her fantastic 41.24.36 figure, her blue eyes, blonde hair and pouting lips was the perfect fantasy in the magical Harrison Marks formula and along with appearances in such magazines as Parade she became much sought after for her glamour work.

Entering films in 1963, but 1964 saw her catapulted into the James Bond Film Goldfinger (1964) in the role of 'Dink', she was also 'The golden girl' in the title credits sequence.

Her roles in the "Carry On..." films is probably her best remembered work in cinema. Often cast mainly for her fabulous buxom figure and good looks, Margaret was perfectly cast in Carry on Girls (1973), and went on to make six more "Carry On..." films in various minor roles involving Bosoms!
