Brigitte Bardot, the little French ballerina the world had never heard of until 1953 when she frolicked on the beach during the Cannes Film Festival wearing nothing more than an itsy bikini... Bardot was relentlessly pursued by the press throughout the entire festival. This was a defining moment for the kittenish ballerina. The combination of the starlet, the venue and the event launched the young beauty's career and propelled the bikini into the French mainstream.
19-year-old Brigitte goofs around with pals that include Kirk Douglas, who at the time had just finished filming Spartacus.
Bardot's bikini caused such a sensation with photographers that
a crowd of onlookers gathered to watch her pose for the press.
Just gorgeous!
Most beautiful young woman.,reminds me of my Pamela when she was young.
