From Zendaya to Brigitte Bardot: Hollywood’s Golden Girls Who Have Forever Stolen Our Hearts
Blake Lively – The Shallows
Whether you first met Blake Lively in the CW drama series “Gossip Girl” or the 2015 movie “The Age of Adaline,” you’d agree that she’s one of the most memorable actresses in Hollywood. And not many know that she’s been in the acting business since the late ’90s.
Lively got her first taste of the big screen in junior school when she was cast as ‘Bridget’ in “The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.” And she’s sure come a long way since 2005. In fact, in 2021, she made her directorial debut with the music video of a Taylor Swift, “I Bet You Think About Me.”
Jen Psaki – Just Headlines
You may recognize the American political advisor Jen Psaki for her recurring TV appearances or perhaps for her interviews in the podcast series “Just Headlines.” In the frantic world of Washington, D.C., though, she’s best known for having served as the 34th White House Press Secretary under President Joe Biden. She was in office for a little over a year, as she was replaced by Karine Jean-Pierre—the 35th White House Press Secretary—in May 2022.
Psaki will finally have the chance to stop, smell the roses, and enjoy the company of her husband and two children after working so hard for so many years.
Brigitte Bardot – Contempt
The French actress and activist Brigitte Bardot may no longer be a heavy focus of the entertainment industry. But her withdrawal from that world cannot erase the influence she accrued over the decades. And her status as a pop culture icon remains all the more relevant.
Bardot rose to prominence in the early ’50s for playing emancipated and body-positive characters on screen. And by her retirement in 1973, she’d featured in over 45 movies, several musicals and recorded over 60 songs. She also appeared in the 2018 short film “Kissing.”
