It’s set in the Victorian Era London that’s rife with all kinds of literary characters ranging from Dracula to Dr. In the Showtime gothic romance series Penny Dreadful (2014), she essays the central character of Vanessa Ives. Eva Green as Vanessa Ives in the Showtime series Penny Dreadful (2014) It is worth mentioning here that in the same decade, Eva Green also delivered memorable performances in films such as The Dreamers (2003), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), and The Golden Compass (2007). But above all she has been a manifestation of the free spirit that has always inspired me to follow my heart despite the odds. As a teenager watching Casino Royale, Vesper Lynd meant so many things to me. A lethal combination of beauty and brains, Eva Green’s Vesper Lynd is really the thinking man’s muse. It is Eva Green’s sheer brilliance that makes Vesper Lynd so real. I have never related to Bond more than I did at that very moment when Vesper slips away from his arms forever.
And in the final scene when she drowns to death, it felt at the moment as if a part of me too died with her. Who will not fall in love with Vesper Lynd? The vulnerability she shows in that shower scene makes it truly unforgettable. I first fell in love with Eva Green as a teenager when I decided to go and watch Casino Royale (2006) in the middle of my end semester examinations during the second year of engineering.
