Brigitte Bardot

Sultry French actress.

The archetypal sex kitten, Bardot was the first foreign-language star ever to attain a level of international success comparable to America's most popular homegrown talents. Though she made her film debut in 1952 it wasn’t until 1956 that Bardot enjoyed her first starring role, in La Lumiere d'en Face. By 1957 she had become France's top sex symbol and she finally hit the jackpot that year when her husband Roger Vadim starred her in the erotic Et Dieu Crea la Femme (And God Created Woman). The film made Bardot an international star, earning over four million dollars in the U.S. alone.

In 1960, Bardot released a pop music album, Inside Brigitte Bardot; several other LPs, including 1963's Brigitte Bardot Sings and 1968's Special Bardot, were to follow, and she scored a number of hit singles in tandem with the infamous singer/songwriter Serge Gainsbourg.

This is a rare vintage black and white advertising card (13" x 10") for the French soft drink, Pschitt, featuring Brigitte Bardot in a swimming costume and boldly signed by her across the image in blue ink. (It's believed that Bardot modelled for this company in 1956). Condition is very good (the scan does not show the full card). RARE
