The cream on top of this bathtub of milk is pretty French actress Brigitte Bardot. In a movie being made in Rome, she plays Nero's beautiful wife, Poppea, who's supposed to have accomplished her ablutions in a marble pool filled with the milk of she-asses. Fact or fiction, the business makes a nice scene for the film Nero's Big Weekend, 1956.
