Film biography
Camille is of Russian-Bolivian descent. She first meets Bond in Haiti where she has her own agenda in killing General Medrano, due to the fact that he killed her family when she was only a girl (shooting her father in the head, then raping her mother and older sister before strangling them to death). She seduced Dominic Greene as a way to get to Medrano, but it didn't work. At first she clashes with Bond, but soon begins to realize he is the only one she can trust. They then team up and go after Greene and Medrano.
From her conversation with Bond, we learn that Camille got the burn mark on her upper back from the fire in her family's household that was caused by Medrano right after he killed her family. She possibly suffers from pyrophobia because of the tragedy; this can be observed during the part where the building starts to burn after Camille had exacted revenge on Medrano.
Behind the scenes
For the part of Camille, director Marc Forster chose Olga Kurylenko because out of the 400 women who auditioned, she seemed the least nervous.[1] When she read the script, she was glad she had no love scene with Craig; she felt it would have distracted viewers from her performance.[2] Kurylenko spent three weeks training to fight with weapons, and she learned a form of indoor skydiving known as body flying.[3] Kurylenko said she had to do "training non-stop from the morning to the evening" for the action scenes, overcoming her fears with the help of Craig and the stunt team.[4][5][6] She was given a DVD box set of Bond films, since the franchise was not easily available to watch in her native Ukraine.[3] Kurylenko found Michelle Yeoh in Tomorrow Never Dies inspiring "because she did the fight scenes by herself."[1]
The producers had intended to cast a South American actress in the role.[7] Kurylenko trained with a dialect coach to perform with a Spanish accent.[5] She said that the accent was easy for her because she has "a lot of hispanic friends, from Latin America and Spain, and it’s an accent I’ve always heard".[8] When reflecting on her experience as a Bond girl, she stated she was most proud of overcoming her fears in performing stunts.[9]
Barbara Broccoli has said that she intends for Camille to return for a future film. If this happens, Camille will become the first Bond girl to make a return appearance since Eunice Gayson, as Sylvia Trench, appeared in Dr. No and From Russia with Love, albeit as a minor character.
Trivia
