Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Bardot appeared in a movie titled “And God Created Women” where she showed more skin than was custom at the time. Time Magazine reported that she lay “stretched end to end of the CinemaScope screen, bottoms up and bare as a censors eyeball.” The movie was banned in numerous cities. She was the favorite foreign actress of the 1950’s and was the driving force behind the increased demand for foreign films.
Today she is still remembered for her use of marijuana and her long blonde hair. She is noted for altering the depiction of women on television. Never before had they been shown so blatantly. Brigitte Bardot changed the standards for how women would be depicted and movies began showing more scandalous scenes.
