As condolences and tributes pour in following the death of actress and activist Brigitte Bardot, a former co-star’s granddaughter is sharing never-before-seen photos from the set of the pair’s iconic film. The on-screen duo, known for their sizzling chemistry, starred as a former military officer and a European aristocrat set against the backdrop of a desert frontier. Rumored to have had a romance due to their electric pairing, the recent photo release will do nothing to quiet those whispers. While the pair is said to have shared no more than a professional relationship, the newly surfaced images capture the intense chemistry they brought to the screen.

In a revealing post shared to social media, Saskia Connery, the granddaughter of former James Bond star Sean Connery, shared a touching tribute to Bardot, who starred alongside her grandfather in the 1968 Western film Shalako.

Captioned, “Rest Easy iconic B 💕 Sean Sean will be happy to have another friend to play golf on the clouds with ✨,” Connery shared a stunning series of black-and-white photos of Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot from the film’s set. The images serve as a reminder of Bardot’s legendary beauty and the undeniable charm the pair shared.

Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot starred in Shalako in 1968. A modest hit in the United States, the film was better received in Europe, likely due to Bardot’s iconic status abroad. Connery’s first Western following his success as James Bond, the pairing of two screen legends was considered the film’s biggest draw.
