Roger Vadim

Passionate about cinema, literature, and music, but also known for his multiple romantic relationships, he wrote and directed films featuring some of his romantic partners, including Brigitte Bardot, Annette Strøyberg, Catherine Deneuve, and Jane Fonda. At the age of 19, he began working as an assistant to Marc Allégret, with whom he worked on several films. In 1956, Vadim wrote and directed his debut film, ...And God Created Woman, which propelled Brigitte Bardot to international fame. This success marked the beginning of Vadim's focus on directing. He became renowned for his visually lavish films with erotic qualities, such as Blood and Roses (1960), Barbarella (1968), and Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971).
