☀️ This name, Brigitte Bardot, is much more than a person. Like Marylin Monroe or Marlon Brando, it's become a myth, the BB myth. Icon of a generation of young people in search of freedom: in cinema, along the French New Wave (i.e.: Godard's "Le Mépris"), in music, with artists/partners such as Serge Gainsbourg, in fashion, etc… Using her brand, she later became the leading figure in animal welfare to this day. A biopic is in preparation. Join the conversation about BB this week, or about "Le Mépris" on March 23rd, 2023: https://www.frenchconversationgroup.com
