Arguably the most entertaining thing about Golden Eye was Famke Janssen in the role of Xenia Zirgavna Onatopp. As a sex-crazed bad girl who enjoys pain (giving, receiving…doesn’t matter), she created one of those characters that when they aren’t on the screen, you’re looking for them – and when they are on the screen, you’re looking nowhere else.
I have, of course, also done my homework on this beautiful and talented actress:
FAMKE JANSSEN
* Famke was born in Holland in 1965. The USA has been her home since 1984.
* She made her film debut in Fathers & Sons.
* Famke modeled for Chanel in the 1980’s.
* She majored in Literature at Columbia University.
* Famke has starred in House on Haunted Hill, Hide and Seek, X-Men, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand.
* Speaks Dutch, German, English, and French.
* Famke was offered the lead female role in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, but turned it down. I think the lead role then went to Claire Danes, but I won’t bet my Starbucks’ card on it.
* Did her own pool shots in Turn the River.
* Wears a size 11 shoe! Forgive me, I just find that fascinating.
* While appearing on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” in 1993 to promote her role of the sex-crazed assassin in GoldenEye, Famke gave Conan a first hand experience of her character’s signature moves by performing them on him using the top of his desk. When she asked him if he would like the demonstration, Conan responded with “This is what we in the industry call a ‘no-brainer’.”
