Happy Birthday: Famke Janssen

Famke Janssen

Born: November 5, 1964 in Amstelveen, Noord-Holland, Netherlands

[on her character’s change in X-Men 2 (2003) (aka X-Men United)] I love darkness. I am attracted to the dark side of life! I thought it was really interesting that Jean Grey went through some changes in this film.

Looking back, boy, has there ever been a stigma in being a Bond Girl. That’s what my mission in life is, just to prove them wrong. That’s why I have such an urge to keep going and proving that. It’s so silly. What on earth does the way you look have anything to do with whether you can act or not.
