In her first life,the world knew her as 'BB' and 'The Sex Kitten'.In her second life,the world knew her as a feisty and devoted animal rights activist.What the world never knew till now,was how the fame she acquired in her first life stole from her the one thing she truly wanted.
BB is not just famous: she has been for more than 40 years,an international social phenomenon.Often acclaimed as the most beautiful woman on earth,her legendary on-screen audacity and her torrid off-screen private life inspired and infuriated post-war generations.
Mobbed,stalked and hounded all her adult life, the child-woman that she was when she first shot to fame in AND GOD CREATED WOMAN,attained near myth status as one of cinema's greatest stars. After several suicide attempts,suddenly aged 39,she tried to walk away from it all.She announced she was retiring from films to consecrate her life to animal welfare.But thats only partly true.The real reason - she desperately wanted to build an impenetrable barrier between her two lives.
Now for the first time,an author has been permitted to get behind the myth.
ROBINSON has spoken to her former husbands,her former lovers,her oldest friends,her current husband and to BARDOT herself.
He lifts a lifetimes veil of secrecy to discover La BARDOT at 60 and to tell the inside story of an amazing woman whose two remarkable lives have made her one of the most famous people of the century.
