James Bond: 10 Bond Girls Who Became Massive Stars

7. Olga Kurylenko

While Quantum of Solace was a divisive entry in the Bond franchise, praise was heaped upon Ukrainian actress and relative unknown Olga Kurylenko for her role as lead heroine Camille Montes, a Russian-Bolivian agent going undercover to reach General Madrano, the man who slaughtered her family and burned her as a child. Kurylenko's minor past roles - often playing the femme fatale in French films - provided some small background for her future career, but in Camille Kurylenko brought a profound, quiet depth as a Bond girl who was proficient and efficient, something that was noticed by prospective directors and Hollywood media. Following the success of the film, Kurylenko grew upon her newly-created global profile in a number of ways, popping up in movies such as the Neil Marshall-helmed Centurion as a vengeful warrior and stealing the show in Terrence Malick's To The Wonder. Arguably her biggest role has been as the enigmatic female lead Julia in Tom Cruise's sci-fi dud Oblivion, but with many more films set to come out in the near future, Kurylenko's career looks bright and bold.
