She made her film debut in 1952, but gained fame with the production of “And God Created a Woman”, directed by her then-husband Rože Vadim. Along with Marilyn Monroe, she was the biggest sex symbol of the last century, however, despite her excellent physical appearance, she stopped her film career in 1974, the day before her 40th birthday, and devoted herself to the fight for animal protection. Brigitte Bardot starred in 47 films, performed in several musicals and recorded more than 60 songs. She was awarded the Legion of Honor in 1985.
