Near the French Riviera town of Menton, a photographer approached a pretty, sex-hexed celebrity, and asked to take her picture. "Leave me in peace," was the reply. "I'm going to die anyway." A few hours later, Brigrrte Bardot made an apparently serious-and heavily headlined -attempt to die. In the garden of a friend's pink villa, a vineyard keeper found Brigitte unconscious beside a well. In the beam of his flashlight he saw Brigitte: "Her eyes were closed, her teeth slightly parted, and her arms were red with blood." It was her 26th birthday...

Come Dance with Me (Francis Cosne; Kingsley) concerns a dentist (the late Henri Vidal) who, during an important poker game, experiences a moment of tooth. Brigitte Bardot appears, leading her sore-jawed father. It is an emergency. Vidal puts on his white jacket, jams his mirror into the sufferer's mouth, then stares entranced at the filling-Brigitte's, naturally. Before long the toothache is even worse, but he, the handsome dog, and she, the pretty thing, are in love...

But that wasn't all: BB's current marriage to nervous Cinemactor Jacques Charrier is reported to be on the skids, and BB of late has longed aloud for Vadim...

Some 45 million Frenchmen got mildly shattering news from the tabloid Paris-Jour, which published a scoop that Cinemactress Brigitte Bardot will end her movie career within a year. "I've had enough of the life I'm leading," Paris-Jour had BB saying. "I'm 25 years old. In ten more years, adieu to youth. So I want to enjoy it a little and say adieu to the cinema and practice the profession I like best in the world." Breathless readers then learned that Brigitte's favorite profession is one of the world...

Featured in Fox's Can-Can and starred with Elvis Presley in a film now in production, she has about her a pouting, full-lipped flavor that suggests an exercised, trim-figured Bardot. But Juliet Prowse is no BB. She's a high-caliber bullet. Last week, on camera for Hal Wallis' G.I. Blues, Juliet writhed and swiveled through a German nightclub jazz dance in a flesh-colored skirt sliced in panels from hem to hips. At a ringside table, a fat cat with slowly inflating eyes made an impassioned grab and caught the center panel, pulling...
