Originally pursuing a career as a ballerina—look at her movies, BB’s posture is a Joffrey plum line—Bardot was discovered by director Roger Vadim when she was a restless, 15 year-old school girl.

Looking at Bardot’s life and career—her films are overwhelmingly medicore or worse, but you can’t tear your eyes away from the hypnotic girl/woman—it quickly becomes apparent that BB was not interested in fame. She never craved the love and adulation that is the drug of choice for needy actors.

Bardot acted because, well, it was better than being a shop girl; and generous movie salaries paid the endless bills for her true passion: animal rescue.

If you were one of the French sex kitten’s lovers you shared a bedroom with the dazzling but moody Bardot—she attempted suicide multiple times—a dozen flea infested cats, scores of mangy dogs, lizards, snakes, goats, and if you were really lucky a braying donkey. The Bardot boudoir was a symphony of silk, lace and animal droppings.

Très sexy!

Bardot hated her loss of privacy, stardom was a torture chamber. She attacked photographers with flying fists and treated journalists as if they carried the plague. Bardot was one of the few movie stars who did absolutely nothing to cultivate her fan base.
