Bardot’s success spread well beyond the shores of France and she was often in demand including an appearance in one of the doctor movies, Doctor At Sea, alongside the likes of Dirk Bogarde and James Robertson Justice.
Et Dieu Crea La Femme (And God Created Woman) is often seen as the film that propelled her to worldwide fame.
Bardot effectively quit the showbusiness world in 1973 and devoted herself to her favourite causes.
She was linked to far-right politics but was also highly engaged in the animal rights movement, running her own foundation from her new home in Saint-Tropez.
