You could argue for hours about who was the best James Bond, or which leading lady was the sexiest. You can debate the merits of every evil genius’ dastardly plan and decide which installment had the best gadgets. But in my opinion, there is one topic that isn’t up for double-oh debate – who is the series’ best villainess – because Famke Janssen decimates the competition.
As the devilish Xenia Zirgavna Onatopp (“Onatopp? Onatopp.”) Famke squeezed every drop of depravity out of the character – and a few men along the way thanks to her tip-top thighs. The uteer jubilation Xenia felt while mowing down rows of innocents was uncomfortably plastered across her face and exactly the reason she no other lady can hold a candle to her.
Happy 43rd birthday Famke!
