Bardot, Brigitte (1934– )

French film actor. A celebrated sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s, she did much to popularize French cinema internationally. Her films include Et Dieu créa la femme/And God Created Woman (1956) directed by Roger Vadim (1928– ), Jean-Luc Godard's Le Mépris/Contempt (1963), and Louis Malle's Viva Maria! (1965).

Bardot studied ballet at the Paris Conservatoire. Her appearance on the cover of Elle magazine in 1950 led to her film debut in Jean Boyer's Le Trou Normand (1952). Since retiring from acting in 1973, she has devoted herself to animal welfare.
