James Bond: 10 Bond Girls Who Became Massive Stars

4. Eva Green

Eva Green may have already been a rising star in her native France, but when she nabbed the coveted role of Vesper Lynd, Bond's first ever - and perhaps only ever - true love in the semi-reboot Casino Royale, Green propelled herself into the international spotlight. Fortunately, rather than fading from obscurity like many of her Bond girl compatriots were sadly fated to do, Green has continued to dazzle and impress in a wide variety of roles and performances that have earned her a reputation as a quirky, yet brilliant actor, in both mainstream and smaller films and TV shows. Whether she's a suicidal performance artist, as in Franklyn, a vengeful witch in Tim Burton's weakly-received Dark Shadows reboot, or in her current role as psychic heroine Vanessa in Showtime's Victoriana horror series Penny Dreadful, Green continues to deliver powerhouse performances to critical acclaim. With amazing material in front of her, Green looks set to continue her trend of exciting characters and growing mainstream success.
