Product Information

If Bardot thought she could traipse freely around New York, she was sorely mistaken. Her fame kept her confined to her hotel room and she barely got to see even a sliver of the foreign country. Americans were absolutely crazy about her. And as such, American film studios wanted to get their hands on the wildly popular actress...but to no avail. In her 1999 book Le Carré de Pluton ( Pluto's Square), Bardot criticizes the procedure used in the ritual slaughter of sheep during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. Additionally, in a section in the book entitled "Open Letter to My Lost France", she writes that "my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims". For this comment, a French court fined her 30,000 francs (about 4200 US dollars in 2000 [34]) in June 2000. She had been fined in 1997 for the original publication of this open letter in Le Figaro and again in 1998 for making similar remarks. [89] [90] [91] Throughout WWII, Bardot spent most of her time cooped up inside. To pass the time, she loved putting on one of her favorite records and dancing. Her mother, realizing Bardot's gracefulness and potential, decided to put her in dance lessons. She envisioned a prosperous ballet career for her daughter, but in a delightful twist, these lessons led Bardot to a rather different destiny—and a scandalous one at that. The Guardian named Bardot "one of the most iconic faces, models, and actors of the 1950s and 1960s". She has been called a "style icon" and a "muse for Dior, Balmain, and Pierre Cardin". [111]

Playboy’s first issue came out in December 1953. One of the first women to grace the cover was none other than Marilyn Monroe, photographed here for the magazine.You know, the one thing that was so great in those days was that a woman named Brigitte Bardot came along with Et Dieu... créa la femme. Over here, we were fighting censorship in the 1950s and 1960s, when you couldn't even show you had a bust. We had to cover everything, and when Bardot's movie was released in an art house in Los Angeles, my God, people were lining up all the way down Wilshire Boulevard to see it. I also stood in line, and I thought, "Why can't I do that?" [110] C. Trott, William (11 April 1985). "Brigitte Bardot accepts the French Legion of Honor medal". United Press International. Unfortunately, her professional life didn't afford Bardot any respite, and the next role she took drove her closer toward another mental breakdown. Over the next few years, Bardot dated bartender/ski instructor Christian Kalt, nightclub owner Luigi "Gigi" Rizzi, singer Serge Gainsbourg, writer John Gilmore, actor Warren Beatty, and Laurent Vergez, her co-star in Don Juan, or If Don Juan Were a Woman.
