The book is packed with violent action, hairbreadth escapes, international espionage, and clever spy gadgets. Still, Valenka later poisoned Bond's martini, which sent him into cardiac arrest, and she aided and abetted all of Le Chiffre's many crimes, so Valenka arguably earned her fate. Casino Royale, novel by British writer Ian Fleming, published in 1953, which is the first of his 12 blockbuster novels about the suave and supercompetent British spy James Bond.

The Ugandans even threatened to cut Valenka's arm off with a sword. Ugandan criminals whose money Le Chiffre swindled attacked them both in their Hotel Splendid suite. In addition, Valenka is brutalized earlier in the film. Like Solange, Valenka's death happens off-camera in the moments prior to White murdering Le Chiffre, we hear her shout a warning before a gunshot kills her. When 007 returned to Nassau, he found Solange had been tortured, murdered, and left wrapped in a hammock on the beach as a message from Quantum.įinally, Le Chiffre's own mistress Valenka (Ivana Milicevic) also perished when she was assassinated by Quantum's Mr. Further, Casino Royale was a total reboot of the James.

Directed by Martin Campbell, 2006's Casino Royale saw Daniel Craig debut as 007 in an origin story based upon the first Bond novel written by Ian Fleming. Solange unwittingly informed 007 that Alex was en route to Miami to commit a terrorist act, which Bond foiled. Casino Royale is the deadliest James Bond movie for the Bond Girls, with not one of the three who are introduced surviving the film. In Nassau, Bahamas, Bond seduced Solange to pump her for information about her husband's plans (and because of his preference for married women). The first Bond Girl to die in Casino Royale was Solange Dimitrios (Caterina Murino), the wife of Alex Dimitrios (Simon Abkarian), an associate of Le Chiffre and Quantum.
