She may have started as model for photographs, though, so I still feel the picture I posted is the always lovely Brigitte, before 1976.

Believe what you want, but Brigitte's career probably began in 1976, not 1970. The 1970 date is a mistake owing to the original release year of Jungle Erotic, which did not include her scene until the re-release in 1978.

If you watch La Vitrine du plaisir, Brigitte is interviewed about her porn career and her answers sound pretty believable, not made up. She talks about her first time appearing in a porno film, but she doesn't mention doing any modeling before that. (Her earliest films are from 1976, though it's possible she may have started as early as 1975 if the films she made then were released the following year.)

Does anyone know of any mags or films with Brigitte from before 1976?

I've collected literally hundreds of photos of Brigitte and seen most of her films (a few rare ones still outstanding) and I've never seen any evidence that she ever had breasts anywhere near as small as the pics you posted, photoflex.

With all due respect, Denaniel, but with no material (except possibly this picture) from before 1976, neither have you seen she didn't!
I merely remarked earlier that breasts do change shape, for perfectly natural reasons.
In some more recent posts I've noticed Brigitte's breasts have grown smaller.
(Still perfect, if only my girlfriend had just one like that!)
I think it could be Brigitte because of the face, there is a definite likeness there. And if that model isn't Brigitte, I haven't seen other pictures of her.
So, posting on this thread was the most likely option to get results.
Of course, other pictures of Brigitte pré-1976 could provide the answer.
Or, indeed, an identification of the model in the picture I posted and it being somebody else.
But, failing that, I maintain that it possibly is Brigitte.
No offence, mate, just hoping for a positive identification either way.

Denaniel,
I've watched the movie, only my copy is in German. So I don't know what she said in the original French. I understand some German and English but writing is a different matter, so please forgive me;

-Wann fingst du mit porno an?

-Ich hab erst nacktfoto's gemacht, und dan hat mann mir eines tages vorgeslagen ein pornofilme zu machen. Ich hatt mich aus neugier mittgemacht, alsauch finanzielle notwendigkeit.
Es war slimm und ich wollte es erst nicht wieder machen.
Und nach zwei, drei monaten kam ich hierher und hat angefangen welche zu machen. Es hatt länge gedauert biss ich mich entschlossen hab es wörklig zu machen, und dann, na ja, als ich mein arbeidsanstelle verlassen habe wo ich ein festen monatsgehalt bekam, gab es wirklich geldprobleme. Dann müste ich weiter machen

-When did you start doing porn?

-I first did nude photo's and then one day they suggested to do a porn movie. I did it because I was curious as well for financial reasons.
It was hard and I didn't want to do it again, but after two, three months I came back here and started doing some. It took a long time for me to decide to really go for it, but since I had left my job and no longer got monthly payments, there were real money problems.
So I had to do it.

So, in the German translation she actually does say she did photo's before doing movies. Just let's hope some surface soon!

i've seen many old fotoshoots of Lahaie & can say it's a typical pic of her.
the nose, lips, even her finger at her mouth...
IT's HER!

sorry to pop yr bubble,Denaniel.
I've seen few fakes of her, some mistaken identity on the Dutch Magazines sometimes but she's had brown hair, dirty blonde, almost platinum at times..

i'll upload my varied collection when i got time.

I am with Denaniel on this one. Although the face looks remarkably like her, the breasts definitely do not. In her early days, when she appeared brunette, she already had large breasts - and the face in the two pics looks older than the young Brigitte.

To clarify one thing: I posted only one original picture, the second one is her head, cropped, and the third one is a similar one just to compare. Of course I looked for one that bears the greatest resemblance.
I am still of the opinion that we need more pictures of that period to be sure.

There seems to be an obvious way to resolve this. Brigitte still has her radio program on RadioMonteCarlo, and they accept fan mail. Why doesn't one of our French-speaking members drop a copy of the pix in a letter, add a gracious and complimentary note, and ask "Dear Ms Lahaie: could you confirm whether these are shots of you?".
