Brigitte Bardot
Brigitte Bardot was initially a dancer before she branched out into acting. She starred in And God Created Women. One American critic described her this way: “undeniably a creation of superlative craftsmanship.” Simone de Beauvoir also wrote an essay with the title Brigitte Bardot and The Lolita Syndrome.
Barbara Eden
Barbara Eden shot to stardom after taking on the lead role of I Dream Jeannie. She did not initially fit the description for the part, although she got it anyway after charming the crew! Wow.
