Brigitte is just too damn adorable when she tries to speak English! I will be so heart broken when God calls her home. I pray that she has many more years here on earth.
I've not seen this interview with her, it's delightful. She's just mesmerizing, a true screen goddess. So captivatingly beautiful, feminine, charming and natural. BB always wanted to live the retired, bohemian life, surrounded by her animals or tucked away with her next lover. Unlike most other actresses and movie stars, fame and fortune more or less found her, and career ambition wasn't what motivated her. I think she has interesting contradictions in her like Marilyn Monroe, that child-woman quality. Presented as the ditzy blonde and sex kitten, yet sensitive and intelligent underneath. Hard to believe she's almost 90 now, and to think she attempted suicide more than one, survived breast cancer. A strong and resilient woman in the end!
Animals and Lovers seem to have played a huge role, maybe a guiding force for her. Roger Vadim and BB had a long friendship. Jane Fonda followed in her role with Vadim for a few movies, and it seems that connection you speak of, the 'bohemian' life fits well with Movie directors and producers as well. Gifted with spectacular features and personality, the French have always been critical, Americans idolize her, and Germans are envious. Bardot was not known for her acuity and acting required more than she had in many productions. Her great delightful French personality makes her a seemingly naive target, but French criticisms drove her into exile, the one she imagines after ten years with Sullivan here. She has spent her time with her dogs, especially, but has been very philanthropic to many animal support organizations for nearly one-half century. A gifted and blessed woman, who attempted to love and be loved, but resigned to a hermitic existence, but one with a remarkable personal style. I digress...My Mother Colette looked so much like her, but without the pouty lips, worked as a makeup artist in Hollywood about 15 years later--Sans my Dad. My friends used to remark how 'hot' my French Mother was. I thought so too. She was a brunette, from Meaux, near Paris, and met/married my Dad, an Army GI from Kentucky, who was stationed in Europe during WWII. A liberty ship named "SS Brazil" brought us from Le Havre to New York in 1948. I'm biased but I must say that many "French women are the sparkling jewels" of ' beaucoup les juene filles' and they age very well too!
The one thing about ED that I admire most is what you see is what you get. MS Bardot was very beautiful, so it seems Ed’s mind was centered more on her looks than his interview….😂 Thanks for sharing.
The most beautiful woman in history of cinema. Divine. And intelligent and funny one! Love her autobiography, Initales BB, why is not available in English I'd never understand!
@@missdee4927 beauty is in the eye of beholder and to me yes, she is. I love all of the actresses you've mentioned and I place them all in my list of world's beautiful women. So I totally know what you're talking about:)
@@missdee4927 I'd add Claudia Cardinale, Ursula Andress, Romy Schneider, Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and even maybe Sophia Loren to that list:)
Can we have the other two (or was it more?!) encounters of these two please?! I've been looking them for some 18 years now and today managed to find this one 😅 the first one was from 1958 and 3rd from 1966. Can we have all 3 please 🙏🏼😍 Brigitte is so charming ❤
Even he stumbled over his words, telling her they were born the same year instead of the same day! Funny how Americans can't appreciate that life without work is not a tragedy but the ultimate freedom and privilege.
She actually kept working for another 12 years, and even added TV specials and albums to her resume...so this may have been a publicity stunt. David Bowie did this, at his peak...and kept working. Her swinging 60's film Two Weeks in September is her stylish best, in my opinion...
It must surely be the strangest interview in the history of the Show... Virtually nothing that is said in it ends up being true... B.B. ended up making over 27 films, she didn't retire 10 years into her career, once she retired she kept "doing things" like becoming an animal rights activist or a prominent supporter of French ultranationalism. The film that Mr. Sullivan asks her about is "Vie privée" (Private Affair), by Louis Malle, with Marcelo Mastroianni.
It's true but at the time BB was fed up with cinema and for a long time she was claiming "Repos du guerrier" (English - "Rest Of A Warrior"), her next film, 27th after "Vie privee" (translation - "Private Life") will be her last film as she wanted to leave cinema for good. She was saying that after "Rest of a warrior" there will be time for "Rest of Brigitte". 😅 She didn't plan on becoming animals rights activist, it just happened. In fact, her first tv campaign against slaughter houses cruelty happened not even a year after this interview here, in 1962.
@@osimeon00 original poster meant that she didn't retire 10 years into her career which would be a year after from this interview - 1962 (interview is in 1961). The first film BB did was in 1952.
Still alive! Been advocate for a animal rights against cruelty and she started out when no one clued up on the way animal can be terated with such cruelty. Hmane societies also own her a great deal. She got tired of livinmg just for looks and fame. Wanted a more fulfilling and impactful life. Because she's a very down-to-earth non artificial lady. Back in the day, Marilyn Monroe and brigitte Bardot were always tailed by photographers. But that drove Brigitte suicidal and crazy, the same way it did to Diana.She opted out. BRAVO CHÈRE BRIGITTE DES COEURS!.♥🙏
@@tbitbi4427 Yes she the only one who turned down elvis. elvis really liked her or thought she would be with him but he got so upset that she turned him down he called her the B word!! he had his friends to talk to her for him but she was not interested...
Marilyn wil never go, she belongs to eternity. She's a myth. Sorry, but there's Marilyn, and there are others/ She plays in the lique of her own ) Even Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve, Jane Fonda and many, many others are her fans))
She is a well known animals rights activist and all she ever criticised was the way of Muslims killing animals during Eid al-Adha, when the cities are flooded with rivers of blood. I'd suggest to Google those haunting images first and then answer question if it looks ok to you? Cos otherwise we all are racist as it's purely disgusting.
@@pauljet you should respect other cultures, its their way of life, everyone is trying to be righteous and correct, and its silly. She approves SEGRAGATION, shes RACISTS. FANBOY!
@@PaulRamone356 if it causes rivers of bloods to thousands of poor animals being killed in front of children in the streets of whole cities it should be changed! Period!
she is adorable, so witty
her light is amazing, she shines
Beautiful beyond reality,,
Exactly.
Superbe notre brigitte.

BB is a timeless beauty
a vision of beauty, and a lover of animals.
You don't hear from her much anymore, but Brigitte Bardot is still alive. She is 88 years old. She was so beautiful when she became a movie star.
She died three days ago

Happy 90th Birthday, Brigitte Bardot!
Brigitte was a bit offended when Ed incorrectly stated they were born the same year. "No No No", as she shakes her finger at him. LOL
Good one Ed, get her head out her butt😂
Why was she offended anyway?
@@Coco-ww2hwbecause Ed was twice her age 😅

B.B. was beautiful ❤
Omg ❤❤
Charming time, charming girls, men. ♥️
BB, The hottest thing since French toast❤❤❤❤🎉

Ed was the Wayne Knight of variety TV.
… Brigitte is not quite charmed with Mr Sullivan. 😂
more beautiful than marilyn ,elizabeth or kim novak
She is not more beautiful than Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor's face nd body was so delicately sculpted.
Eaqual as Norma Jean Baker...
Eaqual to Norma Jean Baker .
Brigitte was obviously used to men being stupid around her.
Don't pick your nose.
real beauty without today's medical interventions that make all women look the same
Marilyn Monroe would be gone the next year.

Hey Ed - stop touching the lady!!
Ed Sullivan was a doofus.
Brigitte Bardot Looks Like Nancy O' Dell lol
No
Not even close. Bardot is a goddess.
A Beautiful actress but sadly from a generation that grew up in racial discrimination hence her approval for racial segregation.
She is a well known animals rights activist and all she ever criticised was the way of Muslims killing animals during Eid al-Adha, when the cities are flooded with rivers of blood. I'd suggest to Google those haunting images first and then answer question if it looks ok to you? Cos otherwise we all are racist as it's purely disgusting.
