Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Films and Music by Brigitte Bardot )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Daily Celebrations ~ Brigitte Bardot, Cat Transformed )〕 (; born 28 September 1934) is a French former actress, singer and fashion model, who later became an animal rights activist. She was one of the best known sex symbols of the 1950s and 1960s and was widely referred to by her initials.〔(Institut Francais Royaume-Uni, And Bardot Became BB )〕 Starting in 1969, Bardot became the official face of Marianne (who had previously been anonymous) to represent the liberty of France.〔Anne-Marie Sohn (teacher at the ENS-Lyon), (Marianne ou l'histoire de l'idée républicaine aux XIXe et XXe siècles à la lumière de ses représentations ) (résumé of Maurice Agulhon's three books, ''Marianne au combat'', ''Marianne au pouvoir'' and ''Les métamorphoses de Marianne'') 〕 Bardot was an aspiring ballerina in early life. She started her acting career in 1952 and after appearing in 16 routine comedy films, with limited international release, became world-famous in 1957, with the controversial film ''And God Created Woman''. She later starred in Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film ''Le Mépris''. For her role in Louis Malle's 1965 film ''Viva Maria!'' Bardot was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress. Bardot caught the attention of French intellectuals. She was the subject of Simone de Beauvoir's 1959 essay, ''The Lolita Syndrome'', which described Bardot as a "locomotive of women's history" and built upon existentialist themes to declare her the first and most liberated woman of post-war France.〔 Bardot retired from the entertainment industry in 1973. During her career in show business, she starred in 47 films, performed in several musical shows and recorded over 60 songs. She was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1985 but refused to receive it.〔("The Big Question: How does the French honours system work, and why has Kylie been decorated?" ), independent.co.uk, 8 May 2008.〕 After her retirement, she established herself as an animal rights activist. During the 1990s, she generated controversy by criticizing immigration and Islam in France and has been fined five times for inciting racial hatred. ==Early life== Bardot was born in Paris, the daughter of Louis Bardot (1896–1975) and Anne-Marie "Toty" Bardot (née Mucel; 1912–1978). Louis had an engineering degree and worked with his father, Charles Bardot, in the family business. Louis and Anne-Marie married in 1933. Bardot grew up in a upper middle-class Roman Catholic observant home. When she was seven she was admitted to the Cours Hattemer, a private school. She went to school three days a week, and otherwise studied at home. This gave time for lessons at Madame Bourget's dance studio three days a week. Brigitte's mother also enrolled Brigitte's younger sister, Marie-Jeanne (born 5 May 1938), in dance. Marie-Jeanne eventually gave up dancing lessons and did not tell her mother, whereas Brigitte concentrated on ballet. In 1947, Bardot was accepted to the Conservatoire de Paris. For three years she attended ballet classes by Russian choreographer Boris Knyazev. One of her classmates was Leslie Caron. The other ballerinas nicknamed Bardot "Bichette" ("Little Doe").〔Caron, Leslie. ''Thank Heaven'', Plume Publishing (2009)〕 At the invitation of an acquaintance of her mother, she modelled in a fashion show in 1949. In the same year, she modelled for a fashion magazine "''Jardin des Modes''" managed by journalist Hélène Lazareff. Aged 15, she appeared on an 8 March 1950 cover of ''Elle''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brigitte Bardot Biography )〕 and was noticed by a young film director, Roger Vadim, while babysitting. He showed an issue of the magazine to director and screenwriter Marc Allégret, who offered Bardot the opportunity to audition for ''Les lauriers sont coupés''. Although Bardot got the role, the film was cancelled but made her consider becoming an actress. Her acquaintance with Vadim, who attended the audition, influenced her further life and career.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brigitte Bardot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
