Brigitte Bardot came into the Hollywood scene like a red hot comet. People just couldn't get enough of this dark-haired French girl. It quickly rose her to the status of one of the most beautiful women in the world. This all came about when she was just a teenager. She would later decide to go blonde (so that she could have more fun). People most likely remember her now as a blonde bombshell, even though she got her start as a brunette.
Nowadays, it is very common for actors from all parts of the world to act together and work on projects. In the ‘50s, a little French girl coming onto the scene was something much more unusual. I can see why audiences were so enamored by her. Being a cutie pie didn't hurt either.
