Description

Brigitte Bardot, the iconic French sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s, has passed away at the age of ninety-one. Known for her bold roles in films like And God Created Woman, she was a trailblazer for sexual liberation in France, inspiring modern attitudes towards freedom. However, her later years were marked by controversial views, including racist opinions and criticism of the MeToo movement. Despite this, French President Emmanuel Macron praised her as a legend of freedom. Bardots life was a complex tapestry of contradictions, from emancipator to recluse surrounded by her animals in Saint-Tropez.
