Brigitte Bardot, icon of French cinema, dies at 91
Brigitte Bardot, known as "BB," was a symbol of female emancipation and sexual freedom in French cinema from the 1950s to the 1970s. Later in life, she became a pioneer in the fight against animal cruelty. She passed away on Sunday at the age of 91, as announced in a statement by the foundation bearing her name.
Brigitte Bardot was the world's most famous actress for 15 years, often followed by paparazzi. After that period, she decided to step away from the limelight to focus on charitable work and protect her legacy. In recent years, she has increasingly embraced the ideas associated with the extreme right, according to an AFP report, as cited by News.ro.
