Brigitte Bardot Dies at 91 After Decades as Film Star and Animal Rights Activist

French actress, singer, and cultural icon Brigitte Bardot died at the age of 91 at her home in southern France, according to a statement released by her foundation on December 28, 2025. Bardot became one of the most recognizable international celebrities of the 1950s and 1960s, gaining worldwide fame after starring in the 1956 film “And God Created Woman.” Nicknamed “B.B.,” she appeared in 56 films and became a symbol of glamour, sexual liberation, and French cinema during her career. In 1969, her image was chosen as the model for Marianne, the national emblem of France, further cementing her cultural significance. At the peak of her fame, Bardot retired from acting in 1973 at the age of 39 and shifted her focus toward animal welfare activism. She founded the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986 and campaigned for decades against animal cruelty, seal hunting, animal testing, and the consumption of horse and dog meat. Her advocacy work became a defining part of her later life. The article also notes that Bardot remained a controversial public figure because of her political views and support for France’s far-right National Rally party. Following news of her death, French President Emmanuel Macron described her as a “legend of the century” who represented freedom and global influence. Political leader Marine Le Pen also paid tribute to Bardot, calling her uniquely French and untamable. Before her death, Bardot reportedly experienced several health issues in late 2025, including hospitalizations in October and November, and had publicly denied false rumors about her death only weeks earlier.

Behind the Scenes with Brigitte Bardot in 'Babette Goes to War' (1959)

The portraits of Brigitte Bardot taken during the filming of 'Babette Goes to War' in 1959 provide a unique glimpse into the French actress at a pivotal moment in her career. Known primarily for her image as a 1950s sex symbol, Bardot is shown in military-inspired costumes while maintaining her signature beehive hairstyle, a look that would go on to influence global fashion trends. The photographs capture both candid moments of laughter and carefully posed promotional shots, revealing a playful and rebellious side of Bardot that challenged conventional ideas of femininity during that era. This collection not only documents the height of 'Bardot-mania' but also reflects the cinematic style and culture of the late 1950s, highlighting the evolution of celebrity imagery and the era’s approach to glamour and publicity. These portraits act as a cultural time capsule, celebrating both Bardot’s star power and the broader fashion and film trends of the decade.
