In what is a modern retelling of the Hollywood legend of
Lana Turner being discovered at Schwab's on Hollywood & Vine,
Natalya Rudakova, the femme fatale in the upcoming Transporter 3 with
Jason Statham, was discovered on the street going to work at a hair salon in New York by the film's writer
Luc Besson.

Besson is no stranger to Russian beauties - He was once married to the then 22-year-old
Milla Jovovich. Of his new (presumably) Russian find, he says:
"She just passed by me and I noticed her freckles and blue eyes. I was with my assistant and I said, 'Are you seeing this?' "Of course,
if I said to her, 'Hey, I'm Luc Besson,' she'd probably run, so my
assistant asked me if she should ask her if she's a model or something,
so she'd feel more comfortable.
"So I proposed to her if she wanted to try to act and my assistant and
I went back to Paris and we gave her some 25 lessons. We prepped her
for about six months and then we brought her to Paris to verify if she
was ready or not... We had a couple of other girls auditioning to frighten her, but,
honestly, she was very good on the screentest, so we hired her."
I guess all his lusting hard work will pay off if she breaks out and becomes a star. Wonder what his current wife who bore him three children thinks of his new muse?
