Name: Eva Green
Born: 5 July 1980 (Age: 31)
Where: Paris, France
Height: 5' 6"
Awards: Won 1 BAFTA
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. The shy, sensitive Green took an early interest in acting, despite attempts by her mother to dissuade her from entering the profession. Undeterred by Jobert's concerns, Green attended the Eva St. Paul Drama School in Paris for three years during her late teens, before spending ten weeks at London's Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts to further pursue her acting dreams.
After The Dreamers Green's career ascended to the level where she revealed more of her multifaceted acting talent. She played the love interest of cult French gentleman stealer Arsène Lupin (2004) opposite Romain Duris. In 2005 she co-starred opposite Orlando Bloom and Liam Neeson in Kingdom of Heaven (2005) produced and directed by Ridley Scott. The film became a blockbuster in the US and worldwide and brought her a wider international exposure. She turned down the femme fatale role in The Black Dahlia that went to Hilary Swank because she didn't want to end up always typecast as a femme fatale after her role in The Dreamers. Instead, Eva Green accepted the prestigious role of Vesper Lynd, one of three Bond girls, opposite Daniel Craig in Casino Royale (2006) and became the 5th French actress to play a James Bond girl after Claudine Auger in Thunderball (1965), Corinne Cléry in Moonraker (1979), Carole Bouquet in For Your Eyes Only (1981) and Sophie Marceau in The World is not enough (1999).
