Snap From The ’50s: The Beautiful Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Bardot was the epitome of beauty during her film career from 1952 to 1973. However, today’s millennials may not be familiar with her since she is now more of an animal rights activist. As a teenage actress, she started with minor roles, but her career took off in her 20s when she starred in “And God Created Woman,” directed by Roger Vadim.

The movie’s poignant commentary on relationships and Bardot’s on-screen charisma instantly captivated audiences worldwide, making her an overnight sensation. She even has a signature picture pose that has been copied by many models, first captured in a 1960 photoshoot.
