THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYONE LIKE BRIGITTE BARDOT
It was the first time a writer was granted access to the woman behind the myth to tell her amazing story.
For more than forty years Brigitte Bardot has been an international phenomenon.
Often acclaimed as one of the most beautiful women on earth, her legendary on-screen audacity and her off-screen private life both shocked and intrigued post World War II generations.
Bardot's fame, which began with And God Created Woman, carried her to mythical status and cinematic stardom. Mobbed, stalked, and hounded for all of her adult life, while being pursued by lovesick fans and the media, Bardot was tormented in her attempt to separate her private life from her public life.
After several attempted suicides, she retired from films and delved into the animal rights cause with zeal and devotion.
Jeffrey Robinson spoke with Brigitte Bardot's former husbands, former lovers, old friends, her current husband, and spent time with Bardot herself in St. Tropez. He lifts the veil that for years has obscured Bardot from the eyes of the public, giving the reader an intimate view of a remarkable woman.

In September 2024, Brigitte Bardot turned 90 years old. I decided to mark the occasion with a long form essay about our relationship, published in Substack. To take you there, please click on this photo she released to celebrate her birthday.
Andy Warhol: "Brigitte Bardot was one of the first women to be really modern and treat men like love objects, buying them and discarding them. I like that."
