Who Are Brigitte Bardot’s Parents, Louis Bardot & Anne-Marie Bardot?

Brigitte Bardot is a French former actress, singer, model, and animal rights activist best known for portraying characters with hedonistic lifestyles.

Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot, often referred to by her initials B.B., was born on September 28, 1934, in Paris, France. Brigitte Bardot is 89 years old as of 2024.

Brigitte Bardot was raised in Paris in a well-to-do, conservative Catholic family. Her father, Louis Bardot, was an engineer and owner of several factories, while her mother, Anne-Marie Mucel, came from a family with strong Catholic values.

Growing up, Bardot lived in a luxurious seven-bedroom apartment in Paris but felt confined by her strict upbringing.  Brigitte Bardot was often subjected to her father’s strict behavioral standards and had few friends due to her mother’s selective nature.

A traumatic incident in her childhood, where her father severely punished her for breaking a vase, led Bardot to resent her parents and rebel against their authority.

Bardot’s career flourished in the 1960s, with notable roles in films like “Le Mépris” (1963) by Jean-Luc Godard and “Viva Maria!” (1965), where she starred alongside Jeanne Moreau.

Brigitte Bardot also ventured into singing, recording several popular songs throughout the 1960s and 1970s, often collaborating with Serge Gainsbourg.
