With an ethereal beauty and emotional complexity, French actress Eva Green, who first wowed film audiences with her sensuous performance in Bernardo’s Bertolucci’s "The Dreamers" (2003), made the leap from European art-house film to the global juggernaut known as the “James Bond Film.” After much public speculation, Green landed the coveted role of Bond’s true love, Vesper Lynd, in the series’ twenty-first installment, "Casino Royale."

Born on July 5, 1980 to her Swedish father, Walter, a dentist, and French mother, Marlene Jobert, an actress, Green and her twin sister Joy were raised in Paris.
