Famke Beumer Janssen aka Famke biography

Real biography: Men should look at Famke Janssen as more than a pretty face as she has an impressive body of acting work (and an impressive body as well). Also, she, at almost 6’0” tall, can probably give a severe ass-kicking if she is so inclined.

Life Story

Like so many of today’s starlets, she initially worked as a high profile model and appeared in the pages of the Victoria’s Secret catalog. Not content to only showcase her beauty on the printed page, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Her first major role was that of Xenia Onatopp in the James Bond film Goldeneye (Izabella Scorupco). Xenia was a villainess who kills men by crushing them between her thighs. It’s safe to say that film gave many males a new preferred way in which to die. In the pantheon of Bond Girls, she resides somewhere below Ursula Andress but way above Grace Jones.Famke impressed critics with small roles in films like Rounders (Gretchen Mol). She became every comic book geek’s wet dream when she took the role of Jean Grey in the X-Men films (Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn). It’s said you cannot mention her name at the San Diego Comic Convention without making half the nerds there cover their bulges with a graphic novel.Her personal life is somewhat quiet. She was married to director Tod Williams for 5 years but divorced in 2000. Potential suitors should probably be tall and not ask her questions like “What is Wolverine is really like?”
