Brigitte Bardot led 'depressed' troubled life

Brigitte Bardot's biography has revealed that the actress recently struggled with depression and attempted suicide on several occasions.

Jeffrey Robinson, who has penned the biography titled Brigitte Bardot: Two Lives in 1994, said that the 80-year-old actress was a very confused, lonely person in the midst of "overwhelming celebrity", the Independent reported.

Robinson continued that Bardot was a woman who suffered relentless depression but never learned how to deal with it.

Bardot was one of the well-known sex symbols of 1950s and 1960s.
