Trivia: She is the 'face' of Emporio Armani designers.Vesper Lynd is a fictional character featured in Ian Fleming's 1953 James Bond novel Casino Royale. She was portrayed by Ursula Andress in the 1967 James Bond parody, which is only slightly based on the novel, and by Eva Green in the 2006 film adaptation. Vesper Lynd - WikiMili, The Free Encyclopedi. But although the details are right, Casino Royale is bogged down by the plot, which spends too much time on the poker game and a montage sequence version of Bond and Vesper's inevitable romance. Such generic diversions detract from Craig's strengths, which are based in deft gestures, nuanced glances, and the deadpan delivery of the occasional joke. Inspired by the Necklace that Bond Girl Vesper Lynd (played by Eva Green) wore in Casino Royale! The Algerian Love Knot is intriguing and slightly mysterious. Worn on the neck with a triple strand chain which drops down from the knot, it is enigmatic and emanates seductive beauty and perfectly taps into this year's red-lipped femme fatale look.
- Vesper Lynd is an antagonist in the James Bond franchise. She is the secondary antagonist in the original novel ' Casino Royale ', a supporting antagonist in the 1967 film Casino Royale, and the deuteragonist its 2006 reboot of the same name.
- Every James Bond fan knows this recipe as the first martini that Bond ordered in Ian Fleming's 1953 book, 'Casino Royale' (or the 2006 movie). Named after the seductive Vesper Lynd character, it is possibly the most famous drink order in history and extremely precise.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU
James Bond first meets Vesper Lynd on a train journey to the Casino Royale in Montenegro, after MI6 boss M gives 007 his mission to bankrupt banker to the crooks, Le Chiffre. The accountant introduces herself to the 00 by simply quipping, 'I'm the money.' Her initial reaction to Bond's cavalier attitude is frosty, and Vesper quickly puts him in his place.'Arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand in hand.'
CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Vesper is resistant to 007's advances and scathing of her alias as Miss Stephanie Broadchest, mistress to Arlington Beech (James Bond's alias on the Casino Royale mission). It is not until Bond and Lynd are sent to Italy for rest and recuperation that the pair reveal their true alliances. Vesper admits her initial assessment of James had been wrong.PROFILE
Vesper Lynd works for the Treasury Department and is sent to assist 007 on the 'Casino Royale' mission. Intelligent, beautiful, but with many dark secrets, Vesper is the ultimate Bond girl.It is Vesper's job to control the purse strings of the mission, and to decide how much of the Treasury's money Bond can risk in his poker game with Le Chiffre.
Having to share a long train ride with Agent 007, Vesper soon sums up Bond and puts him 'in his place'. As with Fleming's character, Vesper is business-orientated and does no take to Bond's attitude.
Bond and Vesper eventually warm to each other as they spend more time together, with 007 ultimately naming his new vodka martini recipe after her.
Contrary to Fleming's character, the Vesper of the film appears to have shed much of venerability and adopted the recently cliched Bond Girl mentality.
Although there are hints to past troubles, Vesper's character is not the 'damaged goods' of the 1953 novel. Her fate, although tragic, is not the same as the literary one, with Vesper's demise becoming more cinematic - but still as poignant for Bond.
'So as charming as you are, Mr. Bond... I'll keep my eyes on our government's money and off your perfectly formed arse.'
BIOGRAPHY
Born on 5th July 1980 in Paris, France, Eva Green is a talented actress and composer.Once described by director Bernardo Bertolucci as 'so beautiful it's indecent,' Eva is the daughter of French actress Marlène Jobert and Walter Green a Swedish dentist.
In Swedish, her surname is pronounced 'grain' or 'greyne'. While many believed Eva was just an Anglicised 'stage name', it is in fact her birth name.
She studied in Paris and then in London at the Webber Douglas acting school.
She performed on stage in productions such as 'Jalousie En Trois Fax' before making her film debut as the female lead in the Bernardo Bertolucci's 2003 film 'The Dreamers', starring Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel. In addition to playing a lead role, she also composed the music for the film.
This debut performance brought her critical acclaim and she has finished her second movie role in the French film, 'Arsene Lupin', directed by Jean-Paul Salomé - co-starring Romain Duris and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Shortly after, Eva was said to have turned down a major role in Brian De Palma's 'The Black Dahlia', for the fear of being typecast.
In 2005, she had her first important role in Hollywood as Sibylla of Jerusalem in the movie 'Kingdom of Heaven', her third film, as the female star alongside Orlando Bloom and Liam Neeson and directed by Ridley Scott.
The year following her appearance as the doomed Vesper in 'Casino Royale', Green starred in the fantasy feature 'The Golden Compass' - once again opposite Daniel Craig.

Vesper Lynd is a fictional character featured in Ian Fleming's 1953 James Bond novel Casino Royale. She was portrayed by Ursula Andress in the 1967 James Bond parody, which is only slightly based on the novel, and by Eva Green in the 2006 film adaptation.
In the novel, the character explains that she was born 'on a very stormy evening', and that her parents named her 'Vesper', Latin for 'evening'. Fleming created a cocktail recipe in the novel that Bond names after her. The 'Vesper martini' became very popular after the novel's publication, and gave rise to the famous 'shaken, not stirred' catchphrase immortalised in the Bond films. The actual name for the drink (as well as its complete recipe) was mentioned on screen for the first time in the 2006 film adaptation of Casino Royale.[1]
In 1993, journalist Donald McCormick claimed that Fleming based Vesper on the real life of Polish agent Krystyna Skarbek, who was working for Special Operations Executive.[2]
Novel biography[edit]
Vesper works at MI6 headquarters being a personal assistant to Head of section S. She is lent to Bond, much to his irritation, to assist him in his mission to bankrupt Le Chiffre, the paymaster of a SMERSH-controlled trade union. She poses as a radio seller, working with Rene Mathis, and later as Bond's companion to infiltrate the casino in Royale-Les-Eaux, in which Le Chiffre frequently gambles. After Bond takes all of Le Chiffre's money in a high-stakes game of baccarat, Vesper is abducted by Le Chiffre's thugs, who also nab Bond when he tries to rescue her. Both are rescued after Le Chiffre is murdered by a SMERSH agent, but only after Bond has been tortured.
Vesper visits Bond every day in the hospital, and the two grow very close; much to his own surprise, Bond develops genuine feelings for her, and even dreams of leaving the service and marrying her. After he is released from the hospital, they go on a holiday together and eventually become lovers.
Vesper has a terrible secret, however - she is a double agent working for Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) and worked with Bond only because she was ordered to see that he did not escape Le Chiffre. (Her kidnapping was staged to lure Bond into Le Chiffre's clutches.) Before she met Bond, she had been romantically involved with a PolishRAF operative. This man had been captured by SMERSH and revealed information about Vesper under torture. Hence, SMERSH was using this operative to blackmail Vesper into helping them. After Le Chiffre's death, she is initially hopeful that she can have a fresh start with Bond, but she realizes this is impossible when she sees a SMERSH operative with an eye patch, Adolph Gettler, tracking her and Bond's movements. Consumed with guilt and certain that SMERSH will find and kill both of them, she commits suicide, leaving a note admitting her treachery and pledging her love to Bond.
Bond moves at top speed through all the Kübler-Ross model stages of grief following Vesper's death, eventually seeing past his sense of loss the clear implications of her espionage. He renounces her only as 'a spy,' packing her away as a memento in the box room of his life and recalling his professional identity immediately within the present situation. Through to his superiors on the telephone, with quiet emergency he informs them of Vesper's treasonous identity, adding, upon a request for confirmation, 'Yes, dammit, I said 'was.' The bitch is dead now.'
However, Bond's genuine feelings for Vesper never fade. Fleming's tenth novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, reveals that Bond makes an annual pilgrimage to Royale-Les-Eaux to visit her grave. In Diamonds Are Forever, Bond skips the song 'La Vie En Rose' in Tiffany Case's hotel room 'because it has memories for him'; this is a song closely associated with Vesper in Casino Royale. In the novel Goldfinger, when Bond has been severely poisoned and believes he is about to enter heaven, he worries about how to introduce Tilly Masterton, who he believes has died along with him, to Vesper.
Film biography[edit]
1967[edit]
In the 1967 version of Casino Royale, Lynd was portrayed by Ursula Andress, who had portrayed another Bond girl, Honey Ryder, in the 1962 film version of Dr. No.[3]
In this version, which bore little resemblance to the novel, Vesper is depicted as a former secret agent who has since become a multi-millionaire with a penchant for wearing ridiculously extravagant outfits at her office ('because if I wore it in the street people might stare'). Bond (played by David Niven), now in the position of M at MI6, uses a discount for her past due taxes to bribe her into becoming another 007 agent, and to recruit baccarat expert Evelyn Tremble (Peter Sellers) into stopping Le Chiffre (played by Orson Welles).
Vesper and Tremble have an affair during which she eliminates an enemy agent sent to seduce Tremble ('Miss Goodthighs'). Ultimately, however, she betrays Tremble to Le Chiffre and SMERSH, declaring to Tremble, 'Never trust a rich spy' before killing him with a machine gun hidden inside a bagpipe. She presumably does this for the same reason she does in the novel, as she remarks that it isn't for money but for love. Though her ultimate fate is not revealed in the film, in the closing credits she is shown as an angel playing a harp, showing her to be one of the 'seven James Bonds at Casino Royale' killed by an atomic explosion.
Eon films[edit]
In the 2006 film version of Casino Royale, Vesper Lynd is a foreign liaison agent from the HM Treasury's Financial Action Task Force assigned to make sure that Bond adequately manages the funds provided by MI6. Vesper is initially skeptical about Bond's ego and at first is unwilling to be his trophy at the hold 'em poker tournament hosted by Le Chiffre. However, she assists Bond when Lord's Resistance Army leader Steven Obanno attacks him, knocking a gun out of Obanno's hand and giving Bond the chance to kill him.
She retreats to the shower afterwards, feeling she has blood on her hands from helping to kill Obanno. Bond sits next to her and kisses the 'blood' off her fingers to provide comfort, and they return to the casino. His kindness does not prevent her from doing her job, however; she refuses to bankroll him after he misreads Le Chiffre at the table and loses his table stakes. Shortly afterwards, Vesper saves Bond's life. Poisoned by Le Chiffre's girlfriend, Valenka, Bond struggles unsuccessfully to connect a key wire to his automatic external defibrillator and enters cardiac arrest, but Vesper arrives in time to connect the wire properly, enabling the machine to revive him.[1][3]
After Bond wins the tournament, Le Chiffre kidnaps Vesper, and Bond gives chase. They fall into Le Chiffre's trap and are tortured by him and his thugs, but are ostensibly saved by Quantum henchman Mr. White, who shoots and kills Le Chiffre for misappropriating the organisation's funds.[4]
While both are hospitalized to recover, Bond and Vesper fall deeply in love, and Bond plans to resign from the service to be with her. As in the novel, Bond and Vesper go on vacation to Venice, both of them hoping to start a new life. Unknown to Bond, however, Vesper embezzles the tournament winnings and intends to deliver them to a gang of Quantum henchmen. Leading the group is Adolph Gettler, who (like his novel counterpart) has been spying on the two agents since they arrived in Venice, and was spotted by Vesper, much to her visible dismay.
When Bond receives a timely phone call from M and realizes Vesper's scheme, he pursues her as Gettler takes her hostage and throws her in a caged elevator while he and his fellow thugs battle Bond. He eliminates them, including Gettler, but in the process causes the building to flood and start sinking. Vesper resigns herself to death and, after apologizing to James, locks herself in, even as Bond frantically tries opening the elevator. In a final gesture, she kisses Bond's hands as if to clear him of guilt; she begins to run out of air and drowns. Bond finally extricates her and attempts to revive her using CPR, to no avail.
Vesper Lynd In Casino Royale
As in the novel, Bond copes with his lover's death by renouncing her, saying 'The job's done and the bitch is dead.' M chastises him, assuming that, when held captive by Le Chiffre, Vesper had cut a deal with her Quantum blackmailers to spare Bond in exchange for the tournament money, pressured by their kidnapping of her boyfriend Yusef. When Bond opens Vesper's mobile phone left in their Venice hotel room, he discovers her note for him with Mr. White's phone number; this enables Bond to track down and confront him at the movie's end.
At the end of the 2008 film Quantum of Solace, Yusef is revealed to be an agent working for Quantum, asked to seduce high-ranking women in the world's intelligence agencies. He is then 'kidnapped' by Quantum, and the women are forced to become double agents in the hope of securing his freedom. This information vindicates Vesper in Bond's eyes, as he realizes she was coerced to embezzle the winnings in Casino Royale. He does not kill Yusef, but leaves him to MI6 and tells M that she was right about Vesper. As he walks away, he drops Vesper's necklace in the snow.[5]
In the 2015 film Spectre, Bond finds a VHS video tape in Mr. White's hotel room in Morocco labelled 'Vesper Lynd Interrogation'. Ernst Stavro Blofeld, whose Spectre organization is the power behind Quantum, taunts Bond by explicitly taking credit for Vesper's death as part of his personal vendetta against him.
