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 mummy into a vocation in acting, which was at first discouraged. However , her mummy 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 1 or 2 plays and after being spotted by Bernardo Bertolucci was asked to appear in his film "The Dreamers", her big-screen debut.



The film was rather controversial featuring extensive naked scenes and her family initially objected. While she felt comfortable filming the scenes, she later said that she was embarrassed when her family saw the film. Ridley Scott then cast her in "Kingdom of Heaven" on the back of her performance in "The Dreamers".



Director Martin Campbell initially offered Eva Green the role of vesper Lynd in "Casino Royale" in mid 2005, but she turned it down. At the time there was no finished script for her to read, but in 2006 Campbell again approached her. When she saw the complexity of the personality, she agreed: she found the personality was more than the everyday Bond girl, which she had no fascinated by 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.
