Vera Jordanova, a model born in Bulgaria and reared in Finland, plays Axelle in Hostel: Part II, the temptress who lures the girls away from their intended destination of Prague and shepherds them toward certain slaughter in Slovakia. With her stunning looks and multi-national background, Jordanova lends an exotic, culturally indeterminate air to Axelle, which makes her true character all the more elusive. "Axelle seems very innocent, but there is a mysterious side of her where you can't really tell where she is from or what she has been through," says Jordanova.
