The actress Brigitte Bardot, who left an indelible mark on the history of French and world cinema, has died at the age of 91. She died on December 28 at her home in Saint-Tropez, France. This was reported by the AFP agency.
Brigitte Bardot, a symbol of cinema of the 1950s and 1960s, was known not only as an actress, but also as a symbol of freedom, beauty and courage for an entire generation. The film "And God Created Woman", released in 1956, brought her immense worldwide fame.
The actress starred in 47 films during her 21-year creative career. In 1973, at the peak of her popularity, Bardot decided to leave the cinema. This decision was unexpected for the public at that time.
Experts and film critics consider her role in the film "The Truth" (La Vérité, 1960) to be one of her strongest works as an actress. In this dramatic work, Bardot embodied the image of a woman on trial very touchingly and convincingly.
In addition, she was remembered by the audience for the following famous films:
—"Viva Maria!" (1965) — an adventure comedy starring Jeanne Moreau;
— "In the event of a misfortune" (1958) — a drama starring Jean Gabin;
— "The Parisian Girl" (1957) — a work that demonstrated the actress's comedic skills.
After leaving the cinema, Brigitte Bardot devoted her life to protecting animal rights. She founded a charitable foundation bearing her name and actively fought against cruelty to animals around the world.
