Ukranian actress Olga Kurylenko told press last week that her character Camille has “a masculine spirit.” The latest in a long line of Bond girls, she explained how her character’s relationship with James Bond in Quantum Of Solace will get along. “When she meets Bond, it clashes,” she said. “She’s careful and she doesn’t trust that easily. So basically with men, she either uses them, or if they’re no use, and she sees that they can’t serve her, then she throws them away. First she is trying to figure this guy out. But Bond and Camille do warm up to each other.”
“Daniel is my favourite Bond. He suits the part perfectly and he is a great actor.â€
Her character’s attitude is a result of the backstory: Camille’s family has been killed by General Medrano and Dominic Greene’s organisation ‘Quantum’, and she is out for revenge - on her own.
Casting for the role spread from South America to Russia, with Camille’s biography tweaked to make her half Bolivian (father’s side) and half Russian to explain away Kurylenko’s Ukrainian accent. But the casting was transparent for the actress. “When [director] Marc [Forster[ looked at me he was so blank. I told my agent, ‘Forget about it’. I was so sad”, she said to reporters in Chile last week. “It was Christmas Eve I found out I got the part. I was sat with my friends, it couldn’t have been a better present.”
