“We extend our sincere condolences to her family, loved ones, the municipality of Saint-Tropez and its residents, and all those who share this cause.
The Foundation will continue, more than ever, to champion the work of Brigitte Bardot.”

Brigitte Bardot became a huge symbol of sexual liberation, not least through her signature roles in films such as And God Created Woman. However, at age 39, with more than 50 film credits to her name, she decided to walk out of the Hollywood spotlight.

Instead, Bardot wanted to focus on her lifelong dedication to helping animals. She famously pledged, “I gave my youth and beauty to men, I give my wisdom and experience to animals,”

Bardot spent the remainder of her life campaigning for animal welfare under the Brigitte Bardot Foundation. However, in 1995, when she released her memoir, she once again returned to the spotlight because of her words about her son.
