Contents

Early life and background

Olga Kurylenko was born in Berdyansk, Ukraine. Her father Kostyantyn is Ukrainian and her mother, Marina Alyabusheva, is an art teacher of Russian and Belarusian descent, who was born in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia.678

She grew up poor; she shared an apartment with her aunt and uncle, grandparents, and cousin. She never had any fancy clothes, often wearing hand-me-downs and re-sewing torn sweaters instead of buying new ones. "I couldn't have anything, basically," she has said of her childhood. "I couldn't have any clothes I wanted, shoes, beds, clothes for school — because my mum couldn't buy them."9

When Kurylenko was three years old, her parents divorced, leaving her to be raised by her mother. Kurylenko rarely had contact with her father, meeting him for the first time when she was eight years old, and later again when she was 13.610

Career

Kurylenko was discovered by a female model scout while on vacation in Moscow at the age of 13.11 When she was 17, she signed a contract with the Paris-based Madison modeling agency.12 By the age of 18, she had already appeared on the covers of Vogue and Elle.13 While working as a model in Paris, Kurylenko supported her mother back home in Ukraine.14

She also appeared on the covers of Madame Figaro and Marie Claire.15

Also, she became the face of Lejaby lingerie, bebe, Clarins, and Helena Rubinstein.16 Furthermore, she modelled for Roberto Cavalli and Kenzo,17 and appeared in the Victoria's Secret catalog.

Kurylenko's first acting appearance was in Seal's music video, 'Love's Divine' in 200318, but her film career began in earnest in France during 2005. She received the certificate of excellence award at the 2006 Brooklyn International Film Festival for her performance in L'Annulaire, and also starred in the Paris, je t'aime segment Quartier de la Madeleine opposite Elijah Wood. That same year, she was selected to be the face of Kenzo's new fragrance, Kenzo Amour. She has appeared in all subsequent Kenzo Amour ads. In 2007, Kurylenko starred in Hitman alongside Timothy Olyphant, in which she did a full nude scene.She had a minor role in Max Payne as Natasha. She played Bond girl Camille Montes in the 2008 James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.19 The film was released in the United States on her 29th birthday.

Kurylenko was featured on the cover of the December 2008 issue of the US edition of Maxim20 and on the cover of the February 2009 issue of the Ukrainian edition of Maxim magazine.21

The fact that she is the first Bond girl from a post-Soviet state received mixed reactions in post-Soviet countries. The Saint Petersburg based Communist group KPLO has accused her of "moral and intellectual betrayal" in starring in a film about the "enemy of the Soviet people" (meaning James Bond)2223 (Kurylenko considered that a PR move24), but the mayor of Berdyansk has suggested naming a street after her25 and Kurylenko and her mother26 met Ukraine's First Lady Kateryna Yushchenko in President Yushchenko's family country house.1213

Kurylenko will star as Marie Curie in the Luc Besson-produced biopic RAD, set for a release in late 2011. French rugby player Sébastien Chabal will portray Pierre Curie. The film will focus on Marie's discovery of radium and the couple's subsequent escape from German spies trying to steal the secret of the atomic bomb.

Personal life

In 2000, Kurylenko married French fashion photographer Cedric van Mol,2728 but the couple divorced four years later. In 2006, she married American mobile phone accessory entrepreneur Damian Gabrielle.11 They divorced in late 2007.29 Kurylenko lived in Paris since leaving Ukraine in 1996 to pursue her modeling career10 but moved to London in 2009 24. In 2001, she was granted French citizenship.4

The new generation of Ukrainians are energetic and want to drastically change the world for the better, and it will fight for change.
—Olga Kurylenko, Komsomolskaya Pravda Ukraine chat session (October 23, 2009)24

In a October 2009 chat session with Komsomolskaya Pravda Ukraine she stated that she does not intend to move back to Ukraine, or to remarry.24

Kurylenko speaks Ukrainian30, Russian, English, French; she also claims she can speak Spanish and can understand Italian.24

Kurylenko is a philanthropist noted for her work for the underprivileged, focusing on children in her native Ukraine. In an interview with the December 2009 edition of Alliance Magazine, she outlined her goal of using her profile to draw attention to her chosen causes, saying: "I have this fame now, I have to use it. If you can at least spread the word it's already good."31
