Brigitte Bardot in HELEN OF TROY (1956)
Ending the year on a sad note, Brigitte Bardot, one of France's biggest stars, died on December 28 at the age of 91. Adding her to the long list of actresses who passed away recently. I liked her a lot. She only did three movies that fall under the PEPLUM umbrella but they are memorable.
Au revoir Brigitte!
One of Brigitte's first noticeable roles was in ROYAL AFFAIRS IN VERSAILLES (1953; Si Versailles m'était conté). She's very charming in it.

Brigitte played Poppea in NERO'S BIG WEEKEND (1956). This one really put her on the map. She held her own against much bigger stars like Gloria Swanson (below) and Alberto Sordi. It's a fun role.

Brigitte's next noticeable role was also a 1956 movie, HELEN OF TROY. She had a supporting role as a slave but her role was memorable and when she became a superstar, the re-releases of the movie had her on top billing.
