In 1950, she appeared on the cover of Elle aged 15 and was spotted by French director Marc All\u00e9gret, who offered Brigitte a role in an upcoming film.<\/p>\n

Her parents had serious reservations about Brigitte becoming an actress<\/a> when she first began pursing a film career at just 15.<\/p>\n

It put serious strain on her relationship with them, and according to author Barnett Singer, who wrote the 2013 biography Brigitte Bardot: A Biography, Brigitte already had a difficult home life.<\/p>\n

Though she grew up in a lavish seven-bedroom apartment in Paris’ affluent 16th arrondissement, the Bardot family dynamic was strained.<\/p>\n

Her parents, engineer Louis Bardot and Anne-Marie Mucel, were strict on Brigitte and her younger sister, Mijanou, running a conservative Catholic home.<\/p>\n
