Bikini Inspiration
Bardot was an inspiration to many women who looked up to her. She represented a new type of woman who was not ashamed of being herself and even showing a bit of skin. She helped popularize the bikini, which she famously wore at the Cannes Film Festival.

Almost Had A Hit Song
In 1967, Bardot was dating French musician Serge Gainsbourg and the two wrote and recorded love song “Je T’aime…Moi Non Plus.” The only problem was, she was married to Gunter Sachs at the time, so she begged Gainsbourg not to release the song. He later released the song in 1969 with his new girlfriend, Jane Birkin, and it went on to become a smash hit. Bardot later released another version with him in 1986.
