Brigitte Bardot was the first feminist pinup. A tiny wisp of French delinquency, with a delicious smile, she stole all the world's sexual thunder; a James Dean in a bikini. "She may have been portrayed as a beautiful sex object," noted Jane Fonda, "but Brigitte Bardot rules the roost. She kicked out any man she was tired of and invited any man she wanted. She lived like a man in Vadim's films."

However, when the Vadim-helmed Don Juan 1973 ou Si Don Juan Etait une Femme and 1974\'s L\' Histoire Tres Bonne et Tres Joyeuse de Colinot Trousse Chemise failed, Bardot again announced plans for retirement; this time, apart from a handful of television appearances, she made good on her promise, and consistently refused all offers to return to the screen.
