How one could describe Shirley Eaton's fate in 42d? (5)

I believe the answer is:

auric

(Other definitions for auric that I've seen before include "made of gold" , "Relating to a form of gold" , "Hugh -, Labour party leader" , "Of or containing gold" , "Golden" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
