Playboy Gallery: Brigitte Bardot
March, 1997
In our July 1964 issue, André Maurois paid homage to French actress Brigitte Bardot, who had redefined screen sensuality in Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman (1956). Maurois' essay, BB: The Sex Kitten Grows Up, described Bar-dot as "a petite, sulky, tousled beast of the jungle" who "lived in the nude" and embodied "eroticism uncorrupted." Bardot would appear in six Playboy pictorials. This shot, from Maurois' story, was taken on the set of A Very Private Affair.
