Margaret Nolan Pop Art
Also available individually and as part of a group of 12.
An icon of classic cinema, Margaret Nolan brought glamour & humour to her performances across the years.
Before moving into film & television with her own name, Margaret was a glamour model using the pseudonym of Vicki Kennedy.
One of her film appearances was in “The Great St. Trinian’s Train Robbery” as Susie Naphill, the stripper turned art mistress. Starring Frankie Howerd, Dora Bryan, Reg Varney, & Meredith Edwards, the film premiered at London’s Studio One cinema on the 11th of March 1966.
Nolan is particularly associated with two major British film franchises, namely Bond and Carry On. As well as appearing in the iconic opening titles, Margaret featured as Dink in “Goldfinger” with Sean Connery, Honor Blackman, & Shirley Eaton.
Her Carry On appearances started with “Carry On Cowboy” starring Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Edina Ronay, & Joan Sims; followed by “Carry On Henry” with Barbara Windsor; “Carry on at Your Convenience” with Anouska Hempel; “Carry On Matron” with Valerie Leon & Madeline Smith; and “Carry On Girls” with June Whitfield, Jimmy Logan, & Wendy Richard.
Margaret’s final film credit is in the forthcoming Edgar Wright film “Last Night in Soho” with Diana Rigg and Terence Stamp.
Her first TV appearance was in a 1963 episode of “The Saint” with Roger Moore & Barbara Murray; and include “The World of Wooster” with Dennis Price & Ian Carmichael; “Danger Man” with Patrick McGoohan & Earl Cameron; “Hugh and I” with John Inman; “Armchair Theatre” with Susan George; TV film “Run a Crooked Mile” with Stanley Holloway; “The Adventures of Don Quick” with Ian Hendry; an episode of “Steptoe & Son” with Trevor Bannister; “Budgie” with Adam Faith; “Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?” “The Sweeney“; “Fox”; and “Brideshead Revisited with Jenny Runacre.
Glamourous blonde bombshells seemed to be a staple of TV comedy in the 1950s & 1960s. Like Sabrina‘s partnership with Arthur Askey, and Liz Fraser‘s collaboration with Tony Hancock, Nolan had a long association with a comedian, Spike Milligan, in the Q show across five series.
