Brigitte Bardot, French Screen Legend Turned Political Activist, Dies Aged 91
Breitbart ^ | 12/28/2025 | Simon Kent

Posted on 12/28/2025 4:01:15 AM PST by DFG

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.

RIP.

France needed many more like her rather than the likes of Macron.

How does one become a ‘sex kitten’? Are there classes?

I think Brigitte Bardot was the first "sex kitten" I ever learned of as a boy, and of course, I fell in love with her, never knowing that not only was she beautiful, but her mind was also in exactly the right places:

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...

Bardot told Le Figaro in 20915 she was against the Muslim face veil.

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.

At least according to the lyrics, she can even interest Elton John:
