Brigitte Bardot is currently honored in the series Bardot, broadcast on France 2 and directed by Danièle and Christopher Thompson. This biopic traces the life of the French icon, from his beginnings at the age of 15 in 1949, to the birth of his son in 1960.
The actress never came to attend the filming and did not ask to watch the episodes of the series beforehand. "My life, I know it by heart, I lived and wrote it, and I do not need to relive it," she said.
