Apr 09, 1959 - Paris, FRANCE - French movie star BRIGITTE BARDOT portrayed with American actor DANNY KAYE in a Paris film studio. The archetypal sex kitten, BRIGITTE BARDOT was the first foreign-language star ever to attain a level of international success comparable to America's most popular homegrown talents. While the vast majority of her motion pictures failed to rank even remotely close to the best of her native France's prodigious New Wave-era output, they proved a major breakthrough in establishing a market for foreign films in English-speaking countries; indeed, for all of the acclaim deservedly heaped on the more gifted actors and directors of her day, perhaps no other factor was more crucial to the far-reaching success of world cinema than Bardot's sultry allure.
