Roger vadim funeral

MOVIE legends united yesterday at the graveside of the man they all wed - French film director Roger Vadim.

Brigitte Bardot, Jane Fonda and Annette Stroyberg were the star mourners at his send-off in the millionaires' playground of St Tropez.

Few men will have had so many celebrity ex-wives - five in all - gathered in grief at their funeral.

The ceremony had been billed as a private, family affair. But the intellectual seducer had so many famous lovers it proved an extraordinary showbiz occasion.

There was Bardot, his first wife and most famous creation, whom he discovered at 15.

Now 65, she has ignored Hollywood's love of plastic surgery and looked her age as tears rolled down her face.
