Profile
Valenka is first seen wearing a skimpy swimsuit climbing the ladder of the yacht owned by Le Chiffre, moored somewhere in the Bahamas.
Later when Steven Obanno learns of Le Chiffre losing his money, he pays Le Chiffre a visit in Montenegro. When Le Chiffre returns to his suite, Valenka is standing on the balcony where she says she’s sorry just as Obanno appears and attacks Le Chiffre. Filled with rage Obanno strangles Le Chiffre who informs him that the money isn’t lost, and he will have it the next day. Obanno decides someone should lose an arm for this betrayal, but since Le Chiffre needs it to play cards, he decides to cut the arm of Valenka instead. It’s turns out to be a bluff when he stops at the last moment, much to the delight of Valenka. Obanno tells her to find herself a new boyfriend since Le Chiffre didn’t protest to her arm being cut off.
Back at the poker table after Bond buys back in and starts to win, Valenka slyly puts poison into Bonds drink. When Bond drinks a large amount of the drink shortly afterward, it forces him to leave the table much to Valenka’s delight. This is short-lived however, when Bond returns to the table jokingly commenting that the last round nearly killed him.
Valenka is present while Bond is removed from his wrecked Aston Martin DBS, and Le Chiffre and his henchmen take Bond and Vesper Lynd to be tortured. While not actually seen on screen, it is presumed that Mr White kills Valenka before killing Le Chiffre and saving Bond.
About
Attractive blond partner of Le Chiffe, she is never very far from him. Valenka seems to have a penchant for skimpy outfits which continues throughout the film, much to the distraction of other players during the poker tournament.
A keen swimmer, Valenka is more than just pleasing eye candy however. She appears quite adapt at poisioning Bonds drink, and certainly seems to take great pleasure in watching the results take shape. §
