Brigitte Bardot in Mexico, 1965
This shot was done by Douglas Kirkland during the shooting of the movie Viva Maria! by Louis Malle. Apparently the press was giving the movie production team a difficult time from getting any work done by crowding the sets. They decided to close the sets from the public and brought Douglas Kirkland on as a special photographer to document their journey.
At the time, Brigitte Bardot and her co-star Jeanne Moreau were regarded as some of the biggest stars in France. This is a timeless portrait of Brigitte, who many considered an icon and sex symbol. Her role in this film gained her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress.
