Valenka is a supporting antagonist of the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. She is the girlfriend and henchwoman to Le Chiffre of Quantum.

She was portrayed by Ivana Milicevic, who also played Kathryn Kidman in The Howling: Reborn.

History[]

She is the girlfriend, mistress and criminal partner of terrorist financier Le Chiffre and is seen in the Bahamas where he finds out James Bond broke into an embassy in Spain.

Valenka travels to Montenegro with Le Chiffre, where he has set up a high stakes poker game to recoup his clients' money, which he lost after Bond foiled a terrorist bombing that would have made him millions in the stock market. On the first night of the tournament, Valenka is standing guard in the Presidential Suite of the hotel.

She later calls Le Chiffre back to the room during a break and when he meets her at the balcony and asks what she wants, they are ambushed by Steven Obanno, one of Le Chiffre's clients, and his bodyguard. The latter threatens to cut off Valenka's arm if Le Chiffre doesn't give him Obanno's money. Seeing that Le Chiffre is too intimidated to come to Valenka's defense, Obanno remarks that she should find another boyfriend before he and his bodyguard leave the room, warning Le Chiffre that worse is to come if they do not get the money back. Bond later kills Obanno and his bodyguard, but Le Chiffre and Valenka know that there will be other angry clients coming after them unless Le Chiffre wins the tournament.

Valenka joins Le Chiffre at the casino on the second night of the game. When Bond becomes a threat to Le Chiffre, Valenka poisons Bond's martini with digitalis. Vesper Lynd saves Bond's life, however, and he returns to the poker table for the last round of the game to defeat and bankrupt Le Chiffre.

Later that evening, she and Le Chiffre kidnap Vesper, and take Bond captive. Valenka goes off to torture Vesper but Mr. White breaks in and shoots her and Le Chiffre dead.

Trivia[]

  • Valenka is never mentioned in the book, however, Le Chiffre does have mistresses.
  • She is the seventh major 007 villainess.
  • Valenka had only one line of dialogue in the original script. It was "I can't find the pliers" when she was torturing Vesper.
  • Valenka is comparable to Elektra King, another major 007 villainess, because she is the villain's lover.
  • Valenka is one of the few villains to almost kill 007.
  • Ironically, 007 saved Valenka the night before, so this makes her assassination attempt all the more evil and ungrateful.
  • Valenka completes the 007 villainess trait of being an eccentric millionaire with psychopathic lustful tendencies.
  • Valenka is the cause of Le Chiffre losing. Because in all his other games, the reason Valenka looks so beautiful is so the other male players get lustful for her and lose their concentration on the game making it easy for Le Chiffre to swindle them; and she and Le Chiffre gloat and make out over this trick, and in the end, it is Le Chiffre who falls for the trick completely, Valenka smiles at him encouragingly with her naked shoulders glimmering and looks so beautiful that Le Chiffre is distracted in his overconfidence and allows Bond an easy win.
