Brigitte Bardot, Icon of French Cinema Dies at 91
According to French media, she was remembered as a “world-renowned actress and singer.” The Brigitte Bardot Foundation issued a statement honoring her choice to step away from fame in order to dedicate herself to protecting animals.
“The Brigitte Bardot foundation announces with immense sadness the death of its founder and president, Madame Brigitte Bardot, a world-renowned actress and singer, who chose to abandon her prestigious career to dedicate her life and energy to animal welfare and her foundation,” the statement shared with a press agency read, without disclosing the time or place of her passing.
Bardot rose to global prominence during the 1950s and 1960s, becoming one of France’s most celebrated cultural icons. She appeared in numerous films and was widely regarded as a symbol of French cinema and elegance.
