10 Bond Girls Who Are Also Scream Queens

4. Famke Janssen

Played: Xenia Onatopp in Goldeneye. Horror Filmography: Lord Of Illusions (1995), Deep Rising (1998), The Faculty (1998), House On Haunted Hill (1999), Hide And Seek (2005), 100 Feet (2008), Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013). Prior to landing the part of Xenia Onatopp, Famke Janssen received her first lead role in Clive Barker€™s Lord Of Illusions, which brought her to the attention of Goldeneye director Martin Campbell. You can see why he wanted her for the role: tall and intimidating, she was the perfect choice to play the aggressive, psychotic Xenia. It turned out to be a better part than she was given in any of her horror pictures, where she typically played a screaming damsel in distress running away from ghosts, sea monsters or body-hopping aliens. No horror fan, she was better served by the role of Jean Grey in the X-Men franchise.
