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 – by personal choice. 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 2015 she was against the Muslim face veil. “Communitarianism takes on too much importance. It is the culmination of thirty years of laxity.”
