8. French postcard by Editions du Globe, Paris, no. 597. Photo: Sam Lévin. I love these long shots Lévin made of BB. She was Lévin's favourite model. This card shows why: the picture accentuates her petite figure and also shows that she knew how to pose - a bit naughty and with class.

Everyone makes reference to a famous Levin shot of the actress from behind, in a white corset, but this image is NOWHERE to be found. Any ideas? Sorry for bumping this old thread back into the queue : )
Interesting, I wondered the same. Maybe 'they' refer to a photo from the series including the picture used for this postcard:

What do you think? But that picture was taken by Georg Michalke, another, great glamour photographer.
However, we will keep searching for a postcard with the famous Levin shot. To everyone his won grail:)
We've found the card! Look today at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/truusbobjantoo/9977156016/
Happy 80th Birthday, Brigitte from the new Brigitte Bardot group on Flickr.
Thanks for the link (scroll above).
They don't make 'em like BB anymore. She broke the mold.
