Brigitte Bardot exclusive photos in London · 2009-09-03 20:13
“Brigitte Bardot and the Original Paparazzi” exhibition opens in London. It is to coincide with a birthday of the Sixties icon Bardot, who is 75!
These paparazzi shots of Brigitte Bardot concentrate on the reasons for her lasting fame, This is London informs.
The time span (1958-81) sees the teenager with Picasso in 1956, smiling in 1965 as Paris milliner Jean Barthet, who discovered her, adjusts a straw hat in his salon; on film sets in France and London; and sunbathing topless in St Tropez with then husband Gunter Sachs. The evolving Bardot look also traces the parallel story of the paparazzi who constructed it.
Informal, intimate shots by Tazio Secchiaroli dominate the show.
Other news agencies follow her career and private life (shopping in Paris, arriving from planes on tarmac, greeted by fans and photographers, always posing and pouting), and on holiday in the Alps with her dogs she softens.
According to Elle UK, the exhibition also showcases some never before seen images of the actress, like this exclusive photograph, of Bardot on the set of “Le Mepris” – the 1963 film that established Bardot as a screen siren.
