Early life: "Eaton was born on 12 January 1937 in Edgware, then in Middlesex although subsequently in London" Clearly a typo or vandalism but needs correcting all the same.Tylexman (talk) 15:07, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Poor wording, I think. It's Edgware that's moving, not Eaton's birth. Edgware was in Middlesex in 1937, but later boundary changes moved it into London. Local government boundary changes don't sem relevant in a biography of this nature. I'm going to delete "although subsequently in London" as irrelevant.

Goldfinger/Mythbusters

[edit]

Re this paragraph;

`Her character's death, being painted head to toe in gold paint and suffering "skin suffocation" led to an urban myth that Eaton had died during filming. She appeared in a 2003 episode of the series MythBusters to dispel the rumour. Her voice was dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl.'

1. The way it reads gives the impression that her performance in MythBusters was dubbed, not her role in Gold Finger. The dubbed bit should be earlier in the article

2. I can't believe that a false myth realistically circulated that she had died during Gold Finger. Certainly the issue raised in MythBusters was whether that way of murder worked - her denial in it by actually appearing was flippant — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr gobrien (talkcontribs) 10:49, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cockney?

[edit]

I think we need a reference for that. If you notice, she always speaks in a very genteel accent. You must be thinking of someone else, maybe Barbara Windsor. Valetude (talk) 12:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
