Brigitte Bardot – And God Created Woman
Brigitte Bardot, like Kate Bosworth mentioned supra, became another instant star due to her appearance in the film And God Created Woman. Brigitte Bardot plays a free-spirited lady who causes somewhat of a stir with her own societal views in the film. She did things like lie in the buff and other antics just to attract men.
She has two love interests in the film, two brothers who are vying for her attention. It is believed that Brigitte Bardot popularized the two-piece bikini due to her part in the film. She even went as far as to spread the popularity of the bikini in both the U.S. and Europe.
