Brigitte Bardot: The Life of the Legendary 'Bebé', the Myth and Contradictions of an Eternal Sex Symbol

Brigitte Bardot, the legendary actress and symbol of sensuality, has died at the age of 91. The news was announced by the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, which she founded for animal protection and dedicated the rest of her life to. Bardot became famous with the film 'And God Created Woman' in 1956, but her career included collaborations with prominent directors such as Godard and Clouzot. She was a muse to intellectuals and artists, and in 1969 became the symbol of the French Republic, Marianne. Her life was full of contradictions, combining global fame with isolation and dedication to animal welfare.
