*Bridget von Hammersmark was a major character in Quentin Tarantino's 6th film, Inglourious Basterds. She was a popular film star in Nazi Germany and a spy for the Allies. Operation Kino was considered her brainchild.

*Bridget von Hammersmark was born in Germany. She became an actress and starred in many German films, such as Fräulein Doktor. Sometime in 1942 she became a double agent for Great Britain.

As a professional actress, Bridget is quite adept in her role as a double agent, being able to work as a double agent for the OSS/MI5 for almost two years without blowing her cover.

On the surface, she is a rather charming and quick-witted woman, maintaning a crowd of awed German soldiers by playing a guessing game with her, and being courteous and friendly with Dieter Hellstrom despite the fact that his presence is preventing her from discussing her plans for Operation Kino.

However, underneath her bubbly, charming facade lies a very cynical and cold woman. Once bare and exposed, she expresses indigation and frustration with the Basterds, whom she considers to be brutish, brash and inept (most likely being slightly prejudiced against Americans), even expressing her frustration about the American stereotype for lack of billingualism in the Basterds (as she is a billinguist). Despite being friendly and slightly flirtatious around Wilhelm, she didn't hesitate to shoot him to protect her cover, but she possibly shot him out of anger and spite, probably being angered and insulted when he called her a "traitorous bitch", showing that her reasoning for her defection are most likely out of her personal disgust of the Nazi regime.

However, despite her charm, her facade became to crack once Hans Landa started interrogating her. Despite his courteous behavior towards her, she displayed visible fear and a breakdown of her self-confidence once she was presented with her autograph and her shoe, knowing she was caught.*
