Who are Shirley Eaton’s children: Grant Rowe and Jason Rowe

Actress Shirley Jean Eaton has made several appearances in British movies throughout the 1950s and 1960s, but her memorable performance as Bond Girl Jill Masterson in the James Bond movie Goldfinger (1964) elevated her to the rank of a bombshell. Eaton whose acting career began at the age of 12 has appeared in about 29 films including  Ivan Tors, Rhino! (1964) and Around the World Under the Sea. Eaton also had roles in the early Carry On films.

Who are Shirley Eaton’s children- Grant Rowe and Jason Rowe?

Aside from being a famous film star, Shirley Eaton is also a mother. The actress got married to building contractor Colin Rowe on Monday 5th August. The couple became parents of two children- Grant Rowe and Jason Rowe. The Goldfinger actress touchingly gave up fame and fortune, at the tender age of 32, to look after her two young children and spend more time with her husband, and later commented in a 1999 interview with Steve Swires of Starlog magazine, “A career is a career, but you’re a mother until you die“.

The star who expressed no regrets or ‘gilt’ also repeated this statement in an interview with the journalist James Davies on 18 June 2008, adding, “The most important thing for me was being a woman and having a family more than being a very famous glamorous actress“.

Though Grant Rowe and Jason Rowe’s mother is famous little is known about them. Shirley Eaton’s sons have been staying away from the spotlight just like their mother walked away from it some years ago. Shirley is a very private person- “I’m a very private person and it is so hard to be private in the entertainment business. I’m really glad that I was famous and successful at the time I was because it is bad enough being in a profession that tended to eat you up and never give you any free time. But I think that the youngsters today have a really bad time from every angle.“- She told Jamesdaviesmedia.

She continued- “In my day we had our good nights out and everything. My husband and I would go to Tramps, which was the place at the time, and there’d be lovely famous people like George Best there, and I would dance and flirt, because I loved dancing. But there were no photographers in there saying ‘Oh, Shirley’s with so and so and her marriage is in trouble.’ We didn’t have any of that.

Grant Rowe and Jason Rowe just like their mother have been very private about life and little to almost nothing is known about them. Their famous mother also doesn’t talk about them in an interview. Their father Colin Lenton Rowe passed away in 1994. The family lived in France for several years until the death of Colin. In 1995 Shirley and her children returned to London.
