Female celebrities who have admitted being spanked growing up.

Ann Margaret  Life magazine snapped a shot of the TV/movie actress` uncle giving her a spanking at a rehearsal or some such that she was at when she was about 18-20. they publicized this picture, so it should be something which can be looked up if an archive copy of the magazine can be found.

Brigitte Bardot - The French actress admitted in a biography that as a youngster she was often caned, and also refers to once receiving fifty whacks for breaking a vase of her mother's. the same story was also told by a French journalist on a TV documentary called the real Brigitte bardot.

Britt Elkland - In her biography, True Britt, the Swedish actress mentions how she was often spanked by her father because of her rebellious nature, and also that she was, in her words, "thrashed" by her father for staying out until the early hours with some graduation students. Also from her book  the actress stated: "several times I collected a spanking from my father because of my rebellious nature. Once for playing among the logs in the wood cellars from which we were barred because of the dirt and the danger." 

In a magazine called the spanking scene it included text from magazine and TV interviews with Britt . It stated - in a magazine that she (Elkland) said in 1985, "I know pictures of us in newspapers showed a smiling and happy family but the truth is I was always scared of my father, he held military drills with me and my three brothers. he seemed to pick on me more and if he felt we didn't perform to his standards I was the one who was punished, the boys were sent away and I was either taken across his knee for a spanking `if I was lucky`, or sent to get the carpet beater. Sometimes I think the carpet beater knew my bare bottom better than it knew the carpets." - Also on a one hour talk show devoted entirely to Britt Elkland she spoke about it more. (interviewer) "I believe your father was very strict." (Britt Elkland) "to say the least." "you've said before he beat you frequently."  "yes, he spanked me, not just with his hand in fact, he used whatever he could get his hands on to bring me up properly, he used the carpet beater, a shoe, a wooden spoon, a hairbrush, once even a birch rod. I really dreaded the carpet beater, the march to get it from the kitchen cupboard was very long especially when you knew that this thing would soon whip your bare behind." "you had to undress?"  "yes, always on the bare, `to smart more` he said."  "when was the last time he punished you like that?"  "I had just turned eighteen and had been to a party, I was late and he had this system, he had a broomstick against the door and it didn't matter how hard I tried to sneak in the handle fell and woke him up." "and what happened?" "I didn't see him that night but at seven the following morning he was in my room with the carpet beater, he took the covers off and I had to pull my pants down and lie across a pillow while he whipped me."
