Actress and sex symbol Brigitte Bardot had a stunning career in France and America in the midndash;20th century. Since the 1970s; she has dedicated her life to the welfare and protection of animals; with much personal involvement. In this book the author makes the case that far from being a pretty face or a spotlight grabber; Bardot was an accomplished actress and has always been an intelligent; sensitive individual. Chapters acquaint readers with her Paris childhood and her rebellious coming of age in a Catholic bourgeois family; who disapproved when she appeared on the cover of Elle magazine and was offered a screen test. The book examines her years in film (with careful analysis of her films) and also covers her tumultuous personal life; including suicide attempts; and the beginnings of her interest in animal protection. Final chapters detail her efforts in worldwide animal welfare activism; including the work of her own international foundation.
