Bond girls don't really have physical flaws and even by these exalted standards, Murino is unusually beautiful. It is possible, I suppose, that without her mobile cauldron, Caterina Murino's skin would shrivel up like old toad hide, but somehow I doubt it. 'If I don't have it turned on, everything goes,' she lowers her voice to a conspiratorial whisper, 'terribly dry.' When I ask what it is, she twists round - quite a complicated manoeuvre involving uncrossing her very long, very brown legs - and starts to laugh. So how did she come to star in Casino Royale as perhaps the most bewitching Bond girl ever? As John Preston discovers for The Telegraph, there's more to it than her exquisite good looks.Įarly on in my conversation with Caterina Murino my eye is caught by what appears to be a small cauldron on the dressing-table of her hotel room.Įvery so often it gives out a loud plop and a cloud of greenish gas rises into the air. She is co-starring as Solange, one of three Bond girls, opposite Daniel Craig in Casino Royale (2006).Not so long ago Caterina Murino was penniless and living on yogurt. Her talents include singing, dancing tango, flamenco and oriental dances, as well as horseback riding. She is a versatile actress and a good athlete.

Murino is trilingual, she speaks French and English in addition to her native Italian. Her breakthrough came in 2004, when she co-starred opposite Jean Reno in a French comedy L'enquête Corse (2004). In 2002 she began her film and television career with playing bit parts in Italian, German, and French productions. In 1999, Murino made her acting debut in a stage production of Richard III and also in several Italian language plays. From 1999-2000 she studied acting at the Scuola di Cinema e Teatro di Francesca de Sapio in Italy.

Then she moved to Milan where she began working as a model in commercials for Mastercard, Swatch, Mercedes Benz, and Nescafe among other gigs. In 1996 she reached the fourth place in the Miss Italy contest. Caterina Murino was born on September 15, 1977, in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy.
