Who is Léa Seydoux? The Bond Girl Channeling Marilyn Monroe On Vogue Covers

Léa Seydoux-Fornier de Clausonne, an actor known for her iconic roles in French and American cinema, graced the cover of Vogue Paris in which she was seen channelling Marilyn Monroe. Apart from the 35-year-old actor's many accomplishments in films, her role in Spectre and the upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die has gained much recognition worldwide. Seydoux plays the role of a psychiatrist Dr Madeleine Swan and Bond's love interest in the Bond film universe. Like all iconic Bond girls (a name given to James Bond's love interests) Seydoux also possesses the spell-binding grace with a fiercely strong personality. Since James Bond's character is taking leave from the Bond franchise, we can say that agent Bond will end up with Dr Madeleine Swan.
