Event Summary

Brigitte Bardot, the iconic French actress, singer, and animal rights activist, has died at the age of 91 at her home in southern France. She rose to international fame as a sex symbol in the 1956 film 'And God Created Woman', directed by her then-husband Roger Vadim. After a prolific career in cinema, Brigitte Bardot retired from acting in 1973, dedicating her life to animal welfare through the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, which she established in 1986. In her later years, Brigitte Bardot became known for her far-right anti-immigrant views, leading to multiple convictions and fines from French courts for inciting racial hatred. She also publicly endorsed the France — National Rally and its leaders, Jean-Marie Le Pen and Marine Le Pen. Despite her controversial political stances, her influence on fashion and French cinema endured. French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged her legacy, calling her a legend.
