Page "Brigitte Bardot" Paragraph 15

Brigitte Bardot and Sami Frey in Saint-Tropez, 1963. On 21 December 1952, aged 18, Bardot was married to director Roger Vadim.

In order to receive permission from Bardot's parents to marry her, Vadim, originally a Russian Orthodox Christian, was urged to convert to Catholicism, although it is not clear if he ever did so.

They divorced five years later, but remained friends and collaborated in later work.

Bardot had an affair with her And God Created Woman co-star Jean-Louis Trintignant ( married at the time to actress Stéphane Audran ) before her divorce from Vadim.

The two lived together for about two years.

Their relationship was complicated by Trintignant's frequent absence due to military service and Bardot's affair with musician Gilbert Bécaud, and they eventually separated.
