What better outfit to pick for a meeting with Charles de Gaulle than a snappy little soldier suit, complete with gold-braided lapels and epaulets? And that's just what Actress Brigitte Bardot, 33, stepped into for a show folk get-together at the Elysee Palace. Le General was smitten. "We are enchanted to see you-enchanted is the word," saluted France's President. "I liked Viva Maria very much." "But you saw it?" ventured a flustered BB. "Yes, on television," replied BB's newest home-screen...
Precocious was the polite word for Portland Mason, only daughter of Actor James Mason and ex-Wife Pamela. The girl gave up smoking at the age of eight and almost won a Brigitte Bardot look-alike contest at 12. Now 19, Portland has made her London acting debut in a revival of Oscar Wilde's A Woman of No Importance, playing-of all things-a puritanical little prig.

The magazine garnished its second issue with a five-picture layout of a topless BB, looking mighty like a senior citizen, sunbathing in Rome with her totally in-the-skin husband, unaware that a paparazzo had, in Brigitte's words, "cut a hole in the dense vegetation surrounding the swimming pool...
...Game Is Over. Some people (including Roger Vadim) consider Roger Vadim an artist. Some don't. What is certain is that he won fame and fortune by displaying his wives on the screen without any clothes on. He got his start by exhibiting Brigitte Bardot in And God Created Woman, and he now presents his third wife, Jane Fonda, in the latest elucubration of the Vadim for mula: lacking something new to say, give them something nue to look...
