One of the strengths of 2006 Bond film Casino Royale was the casting of Eva Green as femme deadly Vesper Lynd. Her casting came late and was only confirmed after principal photography had started on location in the Bahamas. On signing she was jetted over to the Bahamas for a photograph shoot with Daniel Craig and Caterina Murino who played the sacrificial lamb Solange.
Eva Green was born in Paris in 1980, one of identical twin sisters born to Swedish dentist Walter Green and French actress Marlene Jobert. At the age of 14 she decided to follow her mum into a job in acting, which was at first deterred. But her ma later backed her call.
She spent 3 years studying acting in Paris, before 10 weeks in London and then to the Tisch School of the Arts at NY University. Returning to Paris, she appeared on the stage in several plays and after being spotted by Bernardo Bertolucci was asked to star in his film "The Dreamers", her big-screen debut.
The film was rather questionable featuring in depth nude scenes and her folks at first objected. While she felt snug filming the scenes, she later said she was embarrassed when her folks saw the film. Ridley Scott then cast her in "Kingdom of Heaven" on the back of her performance in "The Dreamers".
Director Martin Campbell at first offered Eva Green the role of vesper Lynd in "Casino Royale" in mid 2005, but she turned it down. At the time there wasn't any completed script for her to read, but in 2006 Campbell again approached her. When she saw the complicatedness of the character, she agreed: she found the character was more than the classic Bond girl, which she had no interested in playing.
Casino Royale was well received and on the back of its business success, Green was won the BAFTA Rising Star Award and the Empire Award for Best Female Newcomer, as well as being designated for several awards.
