Brigitte Bardot, Iconic Actress and Animal Rights Activist, Dies at 91

The legendary actress and sex symbol, Brigitte Bardot, 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 world-famous with the film 'And God Created Woman' in 1956, which established her as a symbol of female liberation and post-war glamour. Coming from a wealthy family, she started with ballet, but fate led her to cinema, where she collaborated with great directors such as Godard and Clouzot. She was a muse for intellectuals and artists, and in 1969 became the symbol of the French Republic, Marianne. She retired from acting in 1973, dedicating her life to animal rights activism.
