From Zendaya to Brigitte Bardot: Hollywood’s Golden Girls Who Have Forever Stolen Our Hearts
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.”
