Shkruar nga PamfletiFrench film legend Brigitte Bardot has died at the age of 91, the Bardot Foundation announced on Sunday. Bardot starred in more than 50 films during her career before becoming an animal rights activist.
The actress who caused a real revolution in the film industry by starring in the film "And God Created Woman" has died at the age of 91, Le Monde reports.
She appeared in 56 films before ending her career in 1973 and devoting herself to animal rights activism.
The earthquake occurred in 1956, at the end of November, when Roger Vadim's film, "And God Created Woman," was released. Suddenly, France, and soon the whole world, had eyes only for Brigitte Bardot.
"A wild, bestial and free body bursts onto the screen," wrote critic Jean Douchet. "It undermines and revolutionizes social mores in France and around the world." Bardot's revolution had just begun, a revolution that would give birth to a true myth.
Brigitte Bardot, who died at the age of 91, was far from being a star at the time.
"The Brigitte Bardot Foundation announces with great sadness the death of its founder and president, Madame Brigitte Bardot, a world-famous actress and singer, who chose to abandon her prestigious career to dedicate her life and energy to animal welfare and her foundation," it said in a statement without specifying the time or place of death.
Long a symbol of glamour and desire, Bardot's image was created in a series of cult films and pop duets, such as "...And God Created Woman" in 1956.
She then went on to appear in about 50 more films before giving up acting to devote herself to animal rights advocacy.
She already had about fifteen films to her credit, including several supporting roles such as in Sacha Guitry's "Si Versailles m'était conté" and René Clair's "Les Grandes Manœuvres".
At the time she was simply a sex star, typified as a well-educated young woman or a naive and distracted blonde.
Another critic of the time, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, described her thus: "A beautiful person, provocative with grace, with the profile of Auguste Renoir's young women, a ballerina's gait, an admirable mane of seaweed and wild mares, and those magnificent forms that Maillol would have loved."
