Description

Brigitte Bardot, the French cinema icon, has passed away at ninety-one. Known for her sultry looks and roles in films like And God Created Woman, she burst onto screens in the 1950s. Discovered as a teen model, she became a muse for designers like Dior and Balmain. Born to a strict family, she married director Roger Vadim and starred in numerous films. Her free-spirited life included marriages to actors and millionaires, and she retired in 1973. In her later years, she focused on animal rights via her foundation, rescuing strays and fighting against seal hunts and cat culls. Despite controversial views on immigration and Islam, she remained a symbol of postwar liberation and a rebel who gave beauty to the world.
