Brigitte Bardot (born 28 September 1934), was one of the best known sex symbols of the 1950's and '60's. Starting in 1969, Bardot's features became the official face of Marianne to represent the liberty of France.
Bardot was an aspiring ballet dancer in early life.
She started her acting career in 1952 and, after appearing in 16 films, became world-famous in 1957 with the release of the controversial film, And God Created Woman.
She later starred in Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film Le Mepris.

She was the subject of Simone de Beauvoir's 1959 essay, The Lolita Syndrome, which described Bardot as a "locomotive of women's history" and built upon existentialist themes to declare her the first and most liberated woman of post-war France.
Bardot retired from the entertainment industry in 1973.
During her career in show business, she starred in 47 films, performed in several musical shows, and recorded over 50 songs.
She was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1985, but refused to receive it.
After her retirement, Bardot established herself as an animal rights activist.
I absolutely adore Jennifer Lawrence...and this is pre-Hunger Games. I saw her in The Poker House which she did before Winters Bone. She has some chops, and I definitely see the similarities.
