Yes, she was probably the first sex-symbol female movie star. As the Beeb said, people were used to Doris Day, so she caused quite a stir.
I think the likes of Louise Brooks, Jean Harlow, Jane Russell, Marylin Monroe, might disagree (if they were still with us), but I think Bardot was probably the most natural stunner.
Before I actually knew who she was I heard her mentioned on my dad's Goon Show LP (Best of the Goon Shows No. 2 - side 1, Tale of Men's Shirts) in the following immortal line: It was winter when we arrived and the snow lay heavy on the slopes of Brigitte Bardot.
I was intrigued, but when I finally saw her on film I was a bit disappointed, because I didn't find her sexy. Very pretty, yes, but not sexy. Chacun à son goût, as she might have said. Nevertheless, she was a confusing cultural phenomenon, an icon of the 60s who somehow embodied the spirit of the age. RIP.

Honour her memory by taking THREE SECONDS to check how to spell her name before posting.
