Mini-bio:
International sex symbol of the 1950s and 60s. A model turned actress, Bardot
appeared in several films before achieving instant stardom in Roger Vadim's "And God
Created Woman" (1956). Though most
...( read more)of her performances have been as a scantily-clad
object in routine movies, she has also appeared in several more intelligent films,
such as Jean-Luc Godard's self-referential "Contempt" (1963), in which she plays a
character named Camille Javal (her real name).
Bardot retired from the screen in 1974 and has since devoted her time to animal
rights causes, leading an increasingly reclusive lifestyle. Her first two husbands
were Vadim (1952-1957) and actor Jacques Charrier (1959-1963) and her son Nicholas
Charrier is an actor.
