Brigitte Bardot, once the definitive blonde sex symbol of the 1950s and '60s, has one more ambition - to spill the beans on all her steamy love affairs with some very well-known names.

The iconic French actress, 88, who made waves in films such as And God Created Woman and Contempt, has been bedridden since requiring urgent medical attention in July.

But as one insider reveals, she's still very much able - and ready to confess all about her many passionate escapades.

"Brigitte is still very weak and can't walk around, but she sure can talk," says the source.

"She's had brushes with royalty, met presidents and all the famous rock'n'rollers, and had lusty stars throwing themselves at her."

The insider adds that the lovers Brigitte may expose include James Bond star, the Sean Connery, as well as renowned Hollywood lothario Warren Beatty and legendary singer Jimi Hendrix. Women, too, are on the list.

"[She says] Marilyn Monroe tried to seduce her in the ladies' restroom at a reception for Queen Elizabeth," the source tells.

Brigitte's love-life made headlines right from the very start of her career after she made the acquaintance of director Roger Vadim, whom she met at the tender age of 15. By the time she had turned 18 and he was 24, they were married, but the union only lasted five years before they got divorced.
