Critics of Life Magazine wrote about Brigitte Bardot in 1958. Two years ago, she starred in her estranged husband, Roger Vadim and the God-Created Woman. Also, as depicted here, the paparazzi, an everyday event, created a skirmish.
Parisian is not a beginner in films, and has already appeared in several films, earning the nickname “Sex Kitten.” The American theatre manager was arrested for showing an on-screen exploit, but the reports seduced viewers only. “Bridget is lying,” one critic complained. “It stretched from edge to edge of the screen, raised the bottom and exposed as a naked eyeball,” in a review intended to appeal to morality. The ticket queue has grown for a long time.
The controversy did not harm her career either. Bardot appeared in more than 45 films before retiring in the early 1970s. Now in 90 years, she lives quietly in Saint-Tropez, but remains the most famous symbol of the sexual revolution. “Bardo is a locomotive of women’s history,” wrote Simone des Beauvoir in 1959, “A French export as important as Renault cars.”
