Directed by Roger Vadim persuaded the Foundation to shoot

Her interview with the Hollywood star began with the fact that she told about the feelings that she had settled in her after reading the script. This is what Jane said about this:

"My husband Roger Vadim planned to shoot a pretty bold movie, in which there will be many erotic scenes. It was then that he began to reflect on the filming of the movie "Barbarella", the script which he had been for some time. I know that the main role of the alien guest, who gives everyone love, he offered Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren, but those of filming categorically refused. Then Roger decided to talk with me, explaining that the future of such films. I read the script and was horrified at how frank he is. The first time I was shocked read, but after a few days I was more relaxed about the "Barbarella" scenario.

After that, the Foundation decided to tell about how her husband persuaded Jane to appear in this frank film:

"In the 60s, Roger Vadim understood in cinema much more than me. He believed that this industry will develop in the directions of fantasy and erotica. In "Barbarella" he saw both, and this is what became the key moments in making a positive decision on my part. He was so active in convincing me that I had no choice but to trust him completely. He was able to make it so that I did not just love my heroine, but began to live in her image for a certain period of time. "

Jane very carefully prepared for the role of Barbarella

After that, the Foundation decided to tell about how she was ashamed of her body, because the actress realized that Barbarella is the ideal of feminine beauty. That's what Jane said about this:

"When I was young, I suffered from bulimia. After reading the script and agreeing to play Barbarella, I realized that I should look perfect. That's why I took vitamins every day, went to massages and cleaned the intestines. I had to look perfectly in the frame, because all the outfits of my heroine were extremely open and erotic. Perhaps I would continue to improve my body if my husband somehow did not look at me and did not say that I was ready to shoot. However, my torment did not end there. Every morning I woke up in a terrible panic, because it seemed to me that I did not look perfect. I tried to make sure that Roger did not see me in the morning until I myself looked at myself in the mirror. Only now I understand how crazy I was then. However, it was this obsession that allowed me to play Barberella so that no one doubted that my heroine is a true connoisseur of true love. Thanks to this role, I became a sex symbol of the era and I am very proud of it. "
