Person
Brigitte Bardot
Actor · Crew· Paris, France
Brigitte Bardot, a French icon born in 1934, rose from a ballet dancer's aspirations to international stardom through her controversial role in "And God Created Woman." Her career, spanning 21 years and 47 films, included Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt" and a BAFTA nomination for Louis Malle's "Viva Maria!" Bardot, the subject of Simone de Beauvoir's existentialist essay, was both a muse and a symbol of liberated womanhood. Yet, her abrupt retirement in 1973 signaled a shift to animal rights activism, marred by controversial political stances.
