R.I.P Brigitte Bardot

[gavroche]

I thought somebody might have said already but apparently not apart from another thread.
Apart from an actress which she gave up to look after her animals in St Tropez on the Cote d'Azur.
She was an ambassador for the protection of animals and very outspoken on that subject.
She will be sadly missed.
Madame Bardot, I salute you.

She also supported the French National Front and married one of it's leading members.

Aye. Cinematic icon but a horrid little racist later on in life.

 

[gavroche]

She was disgusted about all the injustices in the world and politicians not doing anything about it so concentrated the last 50 years of her life to speak for and help animals.
I am honoured to share her initials.

A bit before my time, but I remember my uncle being besotted with her at one stage. He actually gave me a risk-a pen of her in the lying down pose that uncovered her top half when it was upright. Every teenagers dream nearly 50 yrs ago. She was very opinionated, but that was her choice. Personally I don't think she should be judged by today's standards given how different things are compared to way back then. May she RIP.

Sad news really though, she was an iconic actress.

 

[Dave7]

On a serious note........ I regret turning her down now.
Apparently she left between $65-100M.
She didn't tell me she had a few bob stashed away.

Not really! More concerned for how her country was heading. She was a committed vegan for decades, who had serious concerns about such imported practises as 'halal' slaughter, just like I do.

She was that. But also a horrid racist. They are two separate things. In fact she was convicted for inciting racial hatred many times.
