The Unknown Granddaughters of Brigitte Bardot at the Farewell – Why They Had No Contact with Her

The two granddaughters of the legendary French actress Brigitte Bardot, Anna and Thea, attended her funeral, despite having limited contact with her. Anna, a lawyer residing in Norway, and Thea, a video production manager in Oslo, grew up away from the spotlight and maintained distant relationships with their grandmother. Their father, Nicolas Sarrieu, had a strained relationship with his mother, resulting in him not being invited to her wedding. However, there was a period of reconciliation in their relationship in the 1990s, when Bardot visited Norway and met his family. Bardot had previously mentioned that she had little contact with her granddaughters, but expressed joy at the birth of her great-grandchildren. In the later years of her life, she respected her son's wish not to mention his family.
