Brigitte Bardot (France, 1934) was France's most powerful sex symbol of the late
1950s and early 1960s. She made only two decent films, namely
Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman (1956) and
Jean-Luc Godards Contempt (1963), but those and the ones in between
were enough to turn her into more than a star.
She retired from cinema in 1973 at age 39. Ironically, after retirement she became an ultra-conservative influencer beloved by the far-right movement. She was fined several times for her racist and xenophobic (notably Islamophobic) insults, and frequently ranted against gays and feminists . She became friend with France's neofascist Jean-Marie Le Pen. Bardot was married to Roger Vadim (1952-57), Jacques Charrier (1959-62), Gunter Sachs (1966-69), and Bernard dOrmale (1992). Her son Nicolas-Jacques Charrier was born in 1960 despite her repeated attempts at killing the foetus (illegal in France at the time) On the other hand, she was also an animal-rights activist, and she was one of the few people who dared speak up against the barbaric Muslim tradition of slaughtering sheep during the festival of Eid al-Adha. She died at the end of 2025 at the age of 91.
