into that of ab actress, debutimg in 1952's LE TROU NORMANS (CRAZY FOR
LOVE) Her many movie roles exploited an image of petulant sexuality that
was reinforced by a much publicized off-camera love life. She worked steadily
during the fifties and sixties, and her 1973 film HISTOIRE TRES BONNE
ET TRES JOYEUSE DE COLINOT TROUSSE-CHEMISE would prove to be the actress's

BRIGITTE BARDOT FOUNDATION dedicated solely to that cause.
