The event series “Bardot,” which is penned and directed by Daniele Thompson (“The Queen Margot”) and Christopher Thompson (“La bûche”), world premiered at Series Mania Festival to unanimous praise and has been pre-sold by Federation nearly worldwide.
“‘Bardot’ is like the French ‘The Crown’ because Bardot embodied France, and through her journey we reminisce about many parts of France’s history and popular culture in the 1950s and 1960s,” Federation’s boss and “Bardot” producer Pascal Breton told Variety. “That era is a historical moment where everything changes, where we go from black and white to color,...

Former bombshell tells men's magazine before 78th birthday of 'nightmare' of stardom and that she now considers herself ugly
Brigitte Bardot, who shot to world fame in 1956 after writhing on a beach in a gingham bikini in the cult film And God Created Woman, has described how stardom crushed her.
The French former actor, who retired in 1973 saying she was "fed up" with fame and wanted to devote her life to the plight of animals, told a men's magazine she was "literally crushed by celebrity … nobody can imagine at what point it was appalling. A nightmare. I couldn't live like that," she said.
"Bb", who will celebrate her 78th birthday at the end of September, added that she now considered herself "ugly".
"I try to make myself as pretty as possible and even then I think I'm ugly. I find it madly difficult to go out, to show myself," Bardot told Vogue Hommes International.

'Dostoevskian' French actor with an aura of tormented youth
With his emaciated but hypnotically handsome face and lithe body, the French actor Laurent Terzieff, who has died of respiratory infection aged 75, graced the stage and films for more than half a century. There was always an aura of tormented youth about Terzieff which he carried into the classic roles of his maturity such as Luigi Pirandello's Henry IV (1989) and Shakespeare's Richard II (1991). His perfect diction and rhythmic precision made his rendering of Jean Cocteau's narration of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex in Bob Wilson's production at the Théâtre du Châtelet in 1996 particularly exciting.
Terzieff's special talents were used by many of the great theatre producers of the day: Jean-Louis Barrault, Peter Brook, Roger Planchon, Maurice Garrel, Roger Blin and André Barsacq. He also directed dozens of plays, many at the Théâtre du Lucernaire in Montparnasse. Paradoxically, given his tormented persona as an actor,...
