On the set of the film "Viva Maria", Louis MALLE speaks of Brigitte BARDOT as a person "who does everything with his instinct, who does not work his roles but who has a rightness of tone, as a musician who would have an extraordinary ear. This is someone who should not be directed... When you want to change a scene, you have to think carefully. Because it is very rare that she is wrong".
Professor Léon SCHWARTZENBERG reacts to the action of Brigitte BARDOT who goes to war against animal testing in the laboratory: "She did not attack the entire medical profession. She has stood up for animals, for living things, which deserve as much as we do for human beings ... Frankly, there are a few in the medical profession who find that she is fundamentally right. She stood up for life; And I think she did the right thing. And then I also believe that it is a person who irritates a few others a little, because he says what he thinks, and he thinks what he says. This is called sincerity. And this kind of sincerity makes the fight that she has given priority to her, and after all life, that’s why we also fight doctors".
Photographer Gérard GERY, friend of Brigitte BARDOT, says he feels on an equal footing with BB when he works with her: "Brigitte BARDOT is a myth for people who do not know her; But for people who know her, she’s just another woman. She is a charming, kind, pleasant young woman. She is a very good friend; and mainly she wants to be treated like Bri-Bri and not like BB ... That’s why she loves animals because she says "They don’t know I’m known, and when they have a look for me, I know it’s for me, and it’s not for BB".
As part of a tribute to Brigitte BARDOT in the cinema "Reflet Medicis", Emanuelle BEART says her admiration for the actress: "We kept of her a mythical image that will exceed time ... In his films, he was more than a handsome man. He was someone who had a grace, a way to walk, a way to provoke, to be that mixture of woman-child that men love so much".
On the set of Christian JAQUE’s film "Babette s'en guerre", Georges DE CAUNE interviews the producer of the film Raoul LEVY on the personality of Brigitte BARDOT, then the father of the actress.
