Brigitte Bardot Dies at 91

Born in Paris in 1934, Brigitte Bardot started her career as a model in 1949 and soon transitioned into acting. She first met director Roger Vadim while auditioning for his film, Les Lauriers sont coupés. Though she didn’t get the part, Vadim personally called to deliver the news, and a romantic relationship blossomed. Bardot was just 15 years old, while Vadim was 22, and they later married when she turned 18.
