Bidspirit Auktion | BRIGITTE BARDOT - TWO PHOTOS

BRIGITTE BARDOT - TWO PHOTOS WITH AUTOGRAPH - Brigitte Anne Marie Bardot, also known as B.B. (Paris, September 28, 1934), is a French actress, former model, singer and activist. After starting out as a classical dancer, she became first a model, posing for several covers of fashion magazines, then an actress and finally, from 1962, also a singer. During the years of success she established herself as a sexy icon. Since 1962, she has also been an activist for animal rights, an activity that has absorbed her completely since her abandonment of cinema in 1973. Even in a period of great development of European cinema, her rise is still extraordinary: she is one of the few European actresses to capture the attention of the mass media in the United States. She and Marilyn Monroe become icons of female sexuality of the fifties and sixties and each of her public appearances in the United States is followed by the mass media. It is thanks to this film, as well as her appearances at Cannes and in numerous photo albums, that the bikini became popular. The eccentric fashion of the sixties suited her so much that she became, like Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy, a subject of Andy Warhol's paintings. BEAUTIFUL PHOTO WITH AUTOGRAPH
