BRIGITTE BARDOT
Arguably the most famous sex-kitten of all time - she was to the Sixties what Marilyn Monroe was to the Fifties - Brigitte Bardot's beauty and style is still an inspiration to this very day. The French actress, born in 1934, was the embodiment of the Sixties carefree, laisez-faire lifestyle; residing in St. Tropez, she enjoyed the heady existence that typified the time, making films, music and love in abundance. She is credited with boosting the popularity of the bikini and, of course, outrageously sexy hairstyles, like voluminous tousled curls, and the beehive. She shot to fame in 1956 in her then-husband Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman. In 1973, just before her 40th birthday, Brigitte announced her retirement - after making 50 films and several albums, she chose to dedicate her life to animal rights campaigns, with which she's still heavily involved to this day.
