In the well-kept tradition
of 007's adventures, Bond
girls are
alluring, quick-witted young ladies who just about any
man would fall for. 28-year-old Olga Kurylenko from the
Ukraine
is certainly no exception. In an announcement
last week,
producers confirmed that Kurylenko had signed on
for the lead female in the 22nd
James Bond outing - currently in production.
In the official statement it was revealed
that Olga is set to play the dangerously alluring Camille.
Only few character details were revealed, but Olga's
road to Bond 22 and stardom is an interesting adventure
in itself.
Born on the 14th of November, 1979 in
Berdyansk, Ukraine, Olga grew up in the midst of
a broken family during the period when Ukrainians
were
dominated
by Soviet regime. Her and her mother lived together with
a variety of extended family in a four-room flat. Berdyansk
provided its townspeople with one major source of income
- it was home to the Azov Sea spring water plant. When
the factory went bankrupt and closed, Olga's mother
spent all hours of the day at odd jobs while her grandmother
took care of her daughter.
At the early age of 13 on the busy Moscow
subway, a Russian talent agent approached Olga and her
mother, Marina. Years later, Marina reported to the press
that she was at first suspicious of the scout. |
