Early on in her career, Bardot auditioned for film Les Lauriers sont coupes from director Marc Allégret. Although she did not end up getting the role, the two ended up falling in love. Her parents were very against the relationship and when they tried to keep them apart, Bardot tried to end her life. Her parents relented but on the condition that they would be married when she turned 18.
