Mijanou Bardot

Marie-Jeanne Bardot (; born 5 May 1938), known professionally as Mijanou Bardot, is a French writer, businesswoman, and retired actress. She is the younger sister of Brigitte Bardot.

Early life Marie-Jeanne Bardot was born on 5 May 1938. The sisters' parents, Louis and Anne-Marie, raised the girls in a Catholic household and were strict on proper behavior, etiquette, clothing, and who they played with. If they broke rules, the punishments were harsh.

Unlike her sister, Bardot shied away from sexually charged roles. While filming Ramuntcho (1959), when she was supposed to do a nude scene, she refused. "I don't expose myself," she told director Pierre Schoendoerffer. "Ask Brigitte to double me for this scene. She loves taking off her bra and will do it with pleasure. But I'm not BB."

Bardot's final film was After the Flood (1968). She retired from acting two years later.
