Picture Trivia

          French actress Brigitte Bardot was one of the “Sex Symbol” of the 1950s and 1960s, who gained international fame after starring in the controversial film And God Created Woman (1957). Bardot was the subject of the 1959 essay, The Lolita Syndrome, by Simone de Beauvoir, which described her as the “locomotive of women’s history” and in existentialist themes declared her the “first and most liberated woman of post-war France.”
