| Brigitte Bardot, 21 visits the studio of Pablo Picasso at his studio in Vallauris, France |
In the photo above, left, the then
21 years old, French film starlet Brigette Bardot visited Pablo Picasso in his studio at
Vallauris, in Southern France, during a break in the 1956 famed Cannes film
festival. Actually, the meeting was a
photo op for Picasso not Bardot. In 1956, director Henri-Georges Clouzot won a
special award for his documentary film “Le Mystere Picasso.”
It wasn’t until the following
year after director Roger Vadim’s “And God Created Woman” that Bardot her “Sex
Kitten” persona. Bardot and Vadim were
married between 1952-57). None of her
films won awards at the Cannes festival.
In fact, the Cannes Film
Festival, has been one of the top award venues for the international film
festival, unfortunately every agent representing budding starlets posed them on
the beach to amuse the visiting press corps.
As a result, the cheesecake is remembered and the awards not so much. But, what cheesecake!
