Eva Green In the Pages Of Elle Magazine Russia (October 2010)

Eva Gaëlle Green ( born 5 July 1980) is a French actress, raised in Paris and living partly in London. She has been noted by Vogue for her “killer looks, intelligence and modesty”, and described by The Independent as “gothic, quirky, and sexy”.

The daughter of actress Marlène Jobert, Green performed in theatre before making her film debut in The Dreamers (2003), which generated controversy over her numerous nude scenes. She achieved greater fame for her parts in Kingdom of Heaven (2005), and in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale, for which she won a BAFTA. She has also modeled for numerous brands.

Eva Green was born in Paris, the daughter of French actress Marlène Jobert and Swedish dentist Walter Green. She grew up in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Her mother is of Algerian (Pied-Noir) descent. Green was born two minutes earlier than her fraternal twin sister named Joy. Green described her family as “bourgeois”, and says that her sister is very different from her. Green is a natural dark blonde; she dyed her hair black aged 15. French-Swedish actress Marika Green is her aunt.
