Got worldwide recognition from this film
Bardot gained global recognition with her performance in the 1956 film And God Created Woman, which was directed by her then-husband Roger Vadim. For twenty years, she was largely regarded as the archetypal sex kitten, a term that defined her image both on and off the screen. In the early 1970s, Bardot stepped away from acting and increased her involvement in political and animal welfare work.
Born in Paris in 1934, Bardot grew up in a traditional Catholic family and trained as a dancer at the Conservatoire de Paris. By the age of 15, she appeared on the cover of a magazine, which gave her initial opportunities in films. Her burgeoning career included roles such as the lead role in Doctor at Sea and culminated with And God Created Woman, which catapulted her to international stardom.
Bardot married four times and had several famous relationships, including relationships with Jean-Louis Trintignant and Serge Gainsbourg. He is survived by his son Nicholas.
