#Fact
1 Inducted into the Hair Fan's Hall of Fame in 2015.
2 Mentioned in the song "Message of Love" by The Pretenders.
3 Her look has inspired several generations of buxom blonde models to be called "baby Bardots", such as German supermodels Claudia Schiffer and Anna Ewers; Dutch models Lara Stone, Daphne Groeneveld and Doutzen Kroes and English model Georgia Jagger.
4 Has attempted suicide at least six times since 1950. Her most recent reported suicide attempt was in 1992.
5 Time Magazine on Bardot: "... the princess of pout, the countess of come hither. Brigitte Bardot exuded a carefree, naive sexuality that brought a whole new audience to French films.".
6 Established the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Welfare and Protection of Animals. She initially funded it by auctioning off personal possessions.
7 Has been characterized as anti-Muslim and anti-gay with her support for ultra-right-wing French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.
8 She was the third name entered on IMDB, after Fred Astaire (nm0000002) and Lauren Bacall (nm0000002).
9 Ranked #75 in Men's Health 100 Hottest Women of all Time. [December 2011]
10 Prior to her worldwide breakthrough in ...And God Created Woman (1956), while still a starlet, Bardot was a familiar presence in many Italian movies. She once shared a hotel room in Rome with a pre-fame Ursula Andress (mentioned in her autobiography). About this she recalled, "If only producers knew of it, they would have think twice about their way of treating us back then.".
11 When she discovered she had breast cancer, she first refused treatment believing it was her fate. It was her fellow actress and friend Marina Vlady who flew to her residence at Saint Tropez and convinced her to start treatment.
12 In 1994, scandalized by Sophia Loren's posing in furs in several printed ads for the Italian fur tailor company Annabella, Bardot published an open letter to Loren, in which she accused her of selling her name and her image "to the most despicable of all advertising: promotion of furs". It is, said Bardot, "degrading, repugnant, lamentable and unworthy to accept money stained with the blood of animals". Loren, added France's leading animal-rights campaigner, should boycott "this abominable trade" and "never forget that wearing a fur is wearing a cemetery on your back". Loren, on holiday at the time, did not respond.
13 On the set of Please, Not Now! (1961), directed by her ex-husband Roger Vadim, she met his new girlfriend, Catherine Deneuve. About Deneuve she said, " . . . behind Vadim lingered a 17-year-old brunette who dressed like me [and] had her hair made like me. Her name was Catherine Deneuve. She had a certain air of a namby-pamby, that was back then unbearable." One night while filming on high mountains the crew got blocked so everybody slept in one room. Among the crew were Bardot, Vadim, Mireille Darc and Deneuve.
14 She had taken dancing lessons from age five, and when she was 13 one of her classmates in dancing class was Leslie Caron.
15 Owns homes in Saint-Tropez, Yvelines and Paris.
16 In 1967 Serge Gainsbourg wrote for and recorded with her his most noted song "Je t'aime...moi non plus", but she pleaded him not to release their recording, so her vocals were replaced by Jane Birkin one year later.
17 Was born at 5 place Violet in the 15th district of Paris.
18 The Brazilian city of Búzios erected a statue of her in honor of her influence in popularizing the city.
19 Brought into fashion the choucroute (sauerkraut) hairstyle.
20 Once castrated a neighbor's donkey.
21 9/28/83: Took a handful of tranquilizers, washed them down with red wine and then wandered out to the Les Canoubiers beach, where she was later pulled from the surf. She was rushed to the nearby L'Oasis clinic, where her stomach was pumped before she was released that evening.
22 Was romantically linked to actors Patrick Gilles, Sami Frey, Laurent Vergez and Warren Beatty, bartender/ski instructor Christian Kalt, club owner Luigi Rizzi, musician Bob Zagury, producer Allain Bougrain-Dubourg, sculptor Miroslav Brozek, singers Gilbert Bécaud, Serge Gainsbourg and Sacha Distel, and writer John Gilmore.

28 She has two granddaughters from her estranged son Nicolas' marriage to Anne-Line Bjerkan (daughter of a Norwegian diplomat): Anna (b. 1985) and Thea (b. 1990).

#Quote
1 I can no longer walk. I can no longer swim. But I'm lucky when I see how animals suffer. Suddenly, I discover that I have nothing to complain.
2 [on retiring from showbusiness at 39] I tried to make myself as pretty as possible and even then I thought I was ugly. I found it madly difficult to go out, to show myself. I was afraid of not living up to what people expected me to be.
3 Apart from my husband, I am entirely surrounded by homos. For years, they have been my support, my friends, my adopted children, my confidants.
4 I gave my youth and beauty to men. Now I'm giving my wisdom and my experience, the better part of me, to animals.
5 I am really a cat transformed into a woman . . . I purr. I scratch. And sometimes I bite.
6 Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.
7 [on Sarah Palin] By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe.
8 It is better to be unfaithful than faithful without wanting to be.
9 I don't think when I make love.
10 Men are beasts and even beasts don't behave as they do.
11 I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.
12 It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.
13 [when asked what was the best day of her life] It was a night...
14 If I could do anything about the way people behave towards each other, I would, but since I can't I'll stick to animals.
15 I have always adored beautiful young men. Just because I grow older, my taste doesn't change. So if I can still have them, why not?
