The Beatles and Bardot.

When the Beatles filled in their biographical 'lifelines', under 'Favourite Actresses', Paul wrote: Brigitte Bardot, George wrote: Brigitte Bardot, Ringo wrote: Brigitte Bardot. John wrote: Juliette Greco, which is surprising, because of the four it was John who was most fanatical about Brigitte Bardot.

John religiously collected the parts and taped the full length photograph to the ceiling above his bed so that he could gaze up at her at night. He favoured girls who styled themselves on the star. When Cynthia, his first wife, fell in love with him, John's friends told her she wouldn't make much of an impression on him because she didn't look like Brigitte. Once they started going steady she underwent a change. She was to say, "John's perfect image of a woman was Brigitte Bardot. I found myself fast becoming moulded into her style of dress and haircut.

He finally got to meet his dream girl in 1968. Pete Shotton recalled the historic moment. Shotten said that John told him, "I was so nervous that I dropped some acid before we went in and got completely out of my head. The only thing I said to her all night was 'Hello,' when we went to shake hands with her. Then she spent the whole time talking in French with her friends, and I could never think of anything to say."
