23 Eva Green


Eva Green is a French actress known for her high-profile movie debut in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers (2003). The film costarred Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel, and it brought Eva to everyone’s attention due to its mature content and explicit depictions of nudity and sex. She is currently linked to New Zealand actor Marton Csokas, with whom she worked on Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven (2005).


This is Eva Green’s first time on our Top 99 list, and she makes her debut at No. 23 for one major reason: Bond. In 2006, Eva appeared as Bond Girl Vesper Lynd opposite Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. This was the only film Eva did in 2006, but it definitely proved her worth. The success of the film provided wide exposure for the up-and-coming actress, whose work is steadily increasing with high-profile projects. Maxim also recognized the actress by placing her at No. 20 on its Hot 100 list for 2006.


Eva seems to be setting a trend of doing one film per year, and 2007 will be no different. Specifically, 2007 will see Eva portray Serafina Pekkala in His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass, alongside veteran actress Nicole Kidman. Eva will also start work on Death Instinct, a biopic concerning French gangster Jacques Mesrine. When she’s not working, Eva continues to travel between her two homes in Paris, France, and London, England.
