S32E5: Brigitte Bardot, Second Marriage & Motherhood

About this episode

The episode explores Brigitte Bardot's struggles with fame and motherhood during her second marriage in the 1960s.

As Brigitte made her way into the 1960s as a bona fide, worldwide celebrity, she found the experience was not especially to her liking. Where she had once strolled the streets of her beloved Saint-Tropez barefoot and happy, by the time she found herself pregnant and married for a second time, an army of photographers assembled outside of her home made her little more than a prisoner in her own life.  Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
