Bond girl Ivana Milicevic to be face of Airlie Beach

IVANA Milicevic who played villainous blonde Valenka in the latest Bond film Casino Royale, will star in a tourism campaign for Airlie Beach.

The Yugoslavian-born Hollywood starlet arrives in Queensland today for a starring role in a marketing campaign to promote the north Queensland holiday hot spot.

Ivana, who played the girlfriend of evil baddie Le Chiffre in the exotic Bond instalment, is the perfect face of Airlie Beach, which is being rebranded as the French Riviera of Australia.

And Tempo Lifestyles, the brand behind Mackay's $50 million Bucasia Beach Resort and Spa and the new $85 million luxury holiday home resort at Airlie Beach, is hoping the actor will enhance the resort's appeal to the cashed-up over-30s.

"We want images used in the marketing campaign not only to show the beauty of Airlie but to depict the integrated coastal lifestyle offered by a Tempo Lifestyle development," said Archer Property Group's John Archer.

But Milicevic's visit to Australia isn't all business.

The glamourpuss is dating Sydney-based businessman Adrian Hunter and the couple have been spotted catching up with some of Milicevic's Aussie pals including Sarah Murdoch, who was cast alongside her in the 2001 flick Head over Heels.

LOL. Being rebranded because at the moment it's a place for diving and for British people to get drunk and dance on tables. I love Airlie Beach. It's the place to go if you're wanting to go diving or for a cruise of the Whitsunday Islands. It's basically just one street and it goes like this:- dive shop, bar, bar, dive shop, tourist shop, bar, bar, bar, dive shop, cafe, restaurant, bar, dive shop....
