eva green should french girls go to hollywood

eva green made her debut along side louis garrel, in dreamers a film set in the 60's riots in Paris. a second generation actress following in the footsteps of her mother marlene jobert the sensational nature of dreamers brought her to immediate the prominence-though she only secured the role after 30 auditions. she then bagged the role of sybilla opposite orlando bloom in kingdom of heaven, this much underrated epic -see the directors cut and marvel ,positioned her as one of the all time beauties of the screen . the minimalistic acting of the two leads having more chemistry than a hundred clinically performed bedroom scenes .a world wide hit if not in the U.S it should have established them both as major leads. however Eva green then chose to do casino royale instead of the black dahlia. Hollywood getting to grips with her wayward beauty transformed her into another bond girl -alas. even though she picked up bafta and an empire magazine award the illusion of sybilla was damaged .since then she has played in the golden compass and couple of movies that have not enhanced her stature. instinctively she knows she doesn't quite fit in the brassy U.S mould - when i go to LA they think of me as french girl who drinks and smokes she states,which begs the question do french stars ever really succeed in the U.S. from Michele Morgan to Audrey Tatou it has been a risky venture which usually strips the actress of everything that made then noticeable in the first place. instead of having films built around her eva green has taken subordinate roles which underestimates her potential massively. there are scarcely any real screen beauties these days and too many easily forgotten actresses. maybe its time to dust off the old pepe le moko script that became Algiers in the U.S and give her chance to demonstrate as she did in kingdom of heaven what genuine smoulder and cinematic beauty is all about
