Brigitte Bardot, the French screen legend who walked away from the film industry to support animal rights and lead opposition to open borders and mass immigration, has died. She was 91.
The Guardian reports Paris-born Bardot shot to international fame with the 1956 film And God Created Woman, written and directed by her then-husband Roger Vadim.
For the next two decades she embodied the idea of the archetypal “sex kitten.”
Her work on screen was not to last. The Guardian notes in the early 70s she announced her retirement from acting and became increasingly active politically.
Bardot’s outspoken support of animal rights evolved into comments about ethnic minorities and open support for France’s Front National, resulting in a string of convictions for racial hatred.
Acknowledged as a symbol of woman’s liberation, Bardot told Le Figaro in 20915 she was against the Muslim face veil.
“Communitarianism takes on too much importance. It is the culmination of thirty years of laxity.”
A committed free speech activist, the actress faced trial five times between 1997 and 2008 for “inciting racial hatred” including for comments criticising mass Muslim immigration in France.
On one of these occasions, she was convicted for “decrying the loss of French identity and tradition due to the ‘multiplication of mosques while our church bells fall silent for want of priests’.”
She always maintained she simply respected the French way of life and sought to protect it and its inheritors.

One of the post war film beauties
RIP.
France needed many more like her rather than the likes of Macron.
Life well lived to make it to 91 age.
I am only 6 years behind.
R.I.P.
How does one become a ‘sex kitten’? Are there classes?
She used to hang out with F1 driver françois cevert
Gotta buy some of Sydney Sweeney’s good jeans.
RIP
She had nice...proportions.
Not much talent or smarts but she looked real purty...
beautiful inside and out
From Bardot to Macron !
Judging by the initial picture at the top of this post, it looks like Ms. Bardot also hung out with Billy Mummy from Lost in Space...
ZIP Code 20915 is located in Silver Spring, Maryland. But perhaps that's not what they meant.
I remember her when she had her first movie out. I think I saw it when I was overseas in the military. At the time, I never dreamed she actually had her head on straight.
She was definitely hot back in the day...RIP.
Definitely Billy Mumy.
At least according to the lyrics, she can even interest Elton John:
