These Historical Photos Will Make You Wish You Could Turn Back Time

Brigitte Bardot

Former French actress and singer Brigitte Bardot was photographed in 1953 at the beach when she was 19, but this wasn’t the first time she had posed for the camera. The model who often went by the nickname B.B., was on the cover of Elle magazine in 1952, which helped catapult her career even further. She was cast in films like “Crazy for Love,” “And God Created Woman,” and “Act of Love.”  But she also gained recognition for being an animal rights activist. Today, Brigitte Bardot loves nothing more than spending every waking moment in the company of her beloved animals.
