'Spectre' casts a Mexican actress in a new, mysterious role.
When the cast for Spectre -- the upcoming 24th James Bond film -- was announced, the film made headlines for adding Monica Bellucci, 50, as the franchise’s oldest Bond girl. At 50, Bellucci is just three years older than Bond himself -- Daniel Craig is 47 years old.

Now, the film is going in the opposite direction by adding 28-year-old Stephanie Sigman. The budding Mexican actress will play Estrella, a mysterious new woman in Bond’s life.
