Brigitte Bardot

Brigette Bardot (b 1934) was a French actress. Though born in France, she lived in the United States to avoid the harsh rule of the Greater German Reich.

In 1965, she starred across from James Dean in the movie The Battle of Chicago. As she was a popular sex symbol, her appearance in the movie greatly bolstered its ticket sales, despite its lackluster plot. Her costumes were skimpy, her scenes sultry. This was problematic since an accurate account of the Battle of Chicago left very little room for beautiful women and less still for public sensuality. However, the movie's adherence to historical accuracy was already far from strict.
