Actress and sex symbol Brigitte Bardot had a stunning career in France and America in the mid-20th century. Since the 1970s, she has dedicated her life to the welfare and protection of animals, with much personal involvement. In this book the author makes the case that far from being a pretty face or a spotlight grabber, Bardot was an accomplished actress and has always been an intelligent, sensitive individual. Chapters acquaint readers with her Paris childhood and her rebellious coming of age in a Catholic bourgeois family, who disapproved when she appeared on the cover of Elle magazine and was offered a screen test. The book examines her years in film (with careful analysis of her films) and also covers her tumultuous personal life, including suicide attempts, and the beginnings of her interest in animal protection. Final chapters detail her efforts in worldwide animal welfare activism, including the work of her own international foundation.

Very expensive for what it is
By SK25
At 44 dollars and listed as a hardback I was more than shocked when a book less than 200 pages arrived! Why on earth the publishers made this into a hardback is beyond me, for such a small book (without colour photos) it's a ridiculous format.
From the opening pages the writing struck me as appalling. Not only is the style annoying (it switches between trying to sound formal to writing in a somewhat immature, talky fashion) but there are grammatical errors everywhere (I'm not a stickler for grammar but the errors were really distracting!)- was this not even edited? What's worse is that the author apparently is a history lecturer at a university so one would expect something more insightful...
Whilst the author has researched Bardot's personal history very well, the writing and assessment of Bardot is terrible. The author also has no real understanding of cinema, which is obvious in his treatment of Godard's 'Contempt', and for someone writing about a film actress I think this is a real flaw.
All in all, a very disappointing book.

A Sad Mistating of the Truth
By J. Robinson
I always hesitate to criticize a fellow author, and I do so now with some regret, but Singer's biography of Bardot completely mis-states my interaction with her. I did not simply show up one day at La Madrague with a rose. What's more, neither Mijanou nor Bernard d'Ormale... and certainly not me... twisted her arm to write the introduction of my book, Bardot - Two Lives. She did it on her own. She did it because she wanted to. Because we'd forged a friendship. Because she trusted me. And, to set the record straight, while friendships with Brigitte are always difficult, I have never violated her trust. I do not know where he got his information. If he'd asked me, I would have told him. But he failed to check with a primary source and, while I wish Singer well, he got this, and other parts of her story, very wrong. Alas.

... young woman who showed me what being sexy looked like at least on the big screen
By Amazon Customer
Brigitte Bardot was a movie star I idolized as a young woman who showed me what being sexy looked like at least on the big screen. I have followed her life because she never lost her visibility, and I was fascinated by how she eventually parlayed her sex kitten professional life into the lover and protector of animals. She was so beautiful and labeled as a "sex symbol" that her life could have been simply a story of lost youthful beauty. That's the fascination with this woman. This book addresses many of my questions and embellishes her persona as a full woman who was able to channel her love of animals with such great passion that she literally maintained her stunning persona as a unique woman of another time. I liked it.
