I was glued to the TV whenever she was on in my youth

I think she created an animal sanctuary when she retired from films

The original sex kitten

Yes absolutely beautiful.

[Livia]

I'm always dubious about people who are famous merely for being beautiful.

I was impressed though, by her animal welfare work.

She raised 3m francs (then about £300,000) to establish the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, by auctioning off her jewellery and film memorabilia.

Bardot - or B.B. as she was known in France - campaigned against the annual seal cull in Canada, and irritated some of her countrymen by condemning the eating of horse meat.

She became a vegetarian, attacked the Chinese government for "torturing" bears, and spent hundreds of thousands on a programme to sterilise Romanian stray dogs.

An incredibly talented lady, with a determined character.
Sometimes controversial too.
Amazing career.

I just read up about her on Wikipedia.

She sounds like an interesting woman.

And it's not because of how she looked, I just wanted to add that in case anyone gets the wrong idea, as with all due respect to her, but I have a different type of woman that I'm into.:laugh:

Her Political views in particular would be refreshingly balanced by today's standards.

Between 1997 and 2008, Brigitte Bardot was fined six times her comments about islam.

In one case, a Paris court fined her €15,000 for describing Muslims as "this population that
is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts".

Seems like the archetype of the idea that you can have brains or beauty. Sounded like a terrible mother as well.

Fined for having an opinion...yet the Egytgian guy who Starmer let back in can have an opinion but is welcomed with open arms ...strange

[Ray.]

I will be very disappointed if Twiggy doesn't have as much hoopla over her eventual passing.

RIP

FACT: This means that only three of the 59 people mentioned in Billy Joel's - We didn't start the fire - are still alive. Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker and Bernie Goetz. :smug:

Another celebrity who I thought had died decades ago ..
