Star’s Privacy Should Be Respected
C.V.Z.P..4. Reuter—Copyright)
PARIS, Nov. 25.
The French film star, Brigitte Bardot, is entitled to privacy and has the right to refuse being photographed when she is not working, a Paris court ruled yesterday.
The Court awarded the actress the one franc symbolic damage which she claimed against seven newspapers which printed pictures taken w-ith telephoto lenses without her consent The pictures were taken at her Saint Tropez beach house on the French Riviera, in her Paris home, and at a country house near Paris.
Her lawyer had charged at a hearing on November 10 that Miss Bardot no longer had any private life, was hounded by photographers and had suffered several nervous breakdowns as a result The Court in its ruling said that while actors accepted and even sought publicity in their professional life, their private life should be respected.
