Uncompromising legend
Icon Brigitte Bardot celebrates her 90th birthday!
Brigitte Bardot, one of the most famous film icons of the 20th century, celebrates her 90th birthday on September 28. As a celebrated actress and sex symbol of the 1950s and 60s, she achieved worldwide fame before abruptly retiring from the film world in 1973 to devote herself to animal welfare.
Bardot's breakthrough came in 1956 with "Und immer lockt das Weib", directed by Roger Vadim.
A star overnight
The film shattered social conventions and made her a star overnight. She embodied a new, self-determined image of women and changed the image of female beauty forever.
Uncompromising animal protection
After more than 40 films, Bardot retired to Saint-Tropez at the age of less than 40 and dedicated herself uncompromisingly to animal welfare. Her Fondation Brigitte Bardot, founded in 1986, is still active today, and Bardot even sold a large part of her property to finance her animal welfare work.
However, Bardot also repeatedly caused a stir with her political statements. Her support for the extreme right and critical statements on topics such as immigration earned her sometimes harsh criticism and even condemnation. Undeterred, she always emphasized that she said what she thought - regardless of public opinion.
Brigitte Bardot remains one of the most fascinating and controversial personalities of the past century - a woman who always went her own way.
