Biography of Brigitte Bardot
Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot is considered one of the most iconic actresses of European cinema in the 20th century. Her global fame came from her role in the film "And God Created Woman," released in 1956, which became a turning point in her career. Over approximately 21 years, she appeared in more than 45 films, including such well-known works as "The Truth" and "Contempt." In the 1970s, Bardot ended her acting career and became known as an outstanding animal rights activist and the founder of a charitable foundation dedicated to animal rights.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Brigitte Bardot gained fame for her free-spirited acting style and sexual appeal. After retiring from acting, she moved to Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera and fully dedicated herself to animal protection, founding her own foundation.
Her career began on the runway, but soon she found herself in film. At the age of 16, Bardot auditioned for a film by Marc Allegret, where she did not get the role but met 22-year-old Roger Vadim. It was love at first sight.
Bardot's parents were against her relationship and planned to send their daughter to London, but she threatened to commit suicide, which made them relent. Ultimately, the couple married on December 21, 1952, at the Notre-Dame de Grâce de Passy church in Paris.
In 2023, when she was offered a role in a series about her life, Bardot wrote a letter expressing surprise at the public's interest and requested that her estate in Saint-Tropez be left in peace. Brigitte Bardot remains one of the most vibrant icons of French cinema.
