Young Brigitte Bardot stunning under the summer sun
There was no woman quite like Brigitte Bardot in the 1960s, she was sexy and coquettish, two things that are impossible to ignore. Bardot used her looks like a well made tool whenever she appeared onscreen, she knew exactly what the viewers wanted.
