For many filmgoers camp is a death sentence for a movie€™'s credibility. Since the 60s and 70s camp in movies has become a lost art. However one actress seems to be on a one woman crusade to bring camp back to the masses: the always entertaining Eva Green.

Green got her start in the 2003's The Dreamers, an erotic tale about an incestuous love triangle. Green's performance brought her to the attention of director Ridley Scott who cast her in the 2005 feature Kingdom of Heaven. Although a large part of her role was cut, Green's career continued to build momentum. In 2006, Green broke into the mainstream with her turn as Bond girl Vesper Lynd, for which she won a BAFTA and Empire award.

Since then, Green has made a career of playing dangerous, scene stealing femme fatales. Green brings a vampy energy to her performances -- a quality few actresses posses today. In the short-lived STARZ television series, Camelot, Green gave a go for broke performance as the wily and alluring Morgan le Fay that proved she understands how to walk the fine line between campiness and outright corniness. Green brought this unique skill to her role as the randy, corpse-kissing Artemisia in this year's 300: Rise of an Empire. Artemisia stole the show and Green went on to play another prototypical femme fatale, Ava Lord, in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.

Casting Green in a movie automatically ups the sex appeal and entertainment value and, if need be, Green has proven she has the acting chops to play it straight.
