In virtually no time at all, 18 year old Jill (
Brigitte Bardot) is propelled from total obscurity to stardom. While pursuing dancing lessons in Paris, she is hired as a fashion model before starting a career as an actress. Jill's films are a hit and she becomes the most talked about woman in France. At first, the attention of the world's press works in her favor. She is hailed as screen goddess and her film career goes from strength to strength. But then it all becomes too much for her. She has a nervous breakdown and attempts suicide. Leaving a sanatorium, she attempts to find her mother, in vain. Instead she meets up with Fabio (
Marcello Mastroianni), an Italian intellectual who was once married to one of her friends. With no one else left, Jill clings to Fabio and becomes his mistress. However, he seems to be more interested in a stage play he is producing. Jill's acting career may be over but the journalists are still there, ready for their next feeding frenzy…
