We still do not know who will be the "BB" of France 2. According to our information, the one who will interpret Brigitte Bardot in the series currently concocted by France Télévisions is an actress in her twenties unknown to the general public, whose production wishes to maintain anonymity at this time.
But the suspense should not last long, because the filming of this fiction began this Monday in Paris.
It will continue for four months between the Paris region and Saint-Tropez.
This series in six episodes of 52 minutes each will be produced for France 2 by Danièle and Christopher Thompson (mother and son will sign three episodes each).
BB's parents will be played by Géraldine Pailhas and Hippolyte Girardot.
Victor Belmondo will play Roger Vadim, while Yvan Attal will play Raoul Levy, the producer of “And God…created Woman” and four other feature films with the actress.
Jules Benchetrit will play Sami Frey, and Anne Le Ny will be Olga Horstig, the agent of the actress.
The plot will begin when Brigitte Bardot is 15 and will end when she is 25... A particularly intense decade for the actress.
Between 1949 and 1959, the young Parisian was on the cover of "Elle" magazine (at the age of 15, therefore), fell in love with Roger Vadim, married him shortly after his eighteenth birthday, gave the reply to Bourvil , played in an American film and an Italian production… Before knowing the consecration at 22 years old with “And God… created Woman” by Roger Vadim.
Shot in Saint-Tropez, this film first enjoyed a modest release in 1956 and a chilly reception from French critics and viewers.
But after its triumph in the United States, England and Germany, it will come out in France and will make Brigitte Bardot a myth and an international sex symbol.
