A Performer From The Start
Bardot was born in the 15th arrondissement of Paris on September 28th, 1934. She was a performer ever since she was young, though she started out as a ballerina before getting into the world of acting, which she would do in 1952 at the age of 18.
Starting To Act
After she appeared on the cover of Elle magazine for a second time, she was offered a small role in the comedy film Crazy for Love, playing the cousin of the main character. In 1953, she landed a small role in a Hollywood-backed film shot in France, Act of Love, which also starred Kirk Douglas.
