When she was on Desert Island Discs Roy Plomley asked for her next choice. She said in her fabulous French accent "A penis".

No, no, spluttered Roy....we'll come to your luxury item later. "No, 'appiness, by Ken Dodd!" explained Brigitte.

She said there were too many mosques in France. Not compatible with the French way of life. Got fined for saying so, several times.

Goodness I didn’t know that about her being homophobic and racist Not such a nice woman after all
Much good work with animals but afraid that won’t make it up for me
Anyway she’s a good age, so her times up

Unfortunately Bardot was convicted in 1997, 1998 and 2000 for inciting racial hatred. She was criticised in later years for homophobic slurs.
But she was a world leader in championing animal protection.
She liked animals more than humans?

She was stunning, back in the day.

The tousled hair, the full, pouting lips, the eyes….

I think every man must have fancied her, and many women wished they could look like her.

A beautiful woman, inside and out RIP flowers.

After seeing dancing bears in Bulgaria we visited the Belitsa rescue centre which is jointly run by Bridget’s charity and the four paws charity.

Beautiful woman.
BBC report on her life seems to depict her as a racist!

She gave her name to a neckline and popularised long bleached hair in a pony tail. But there was a lot more to her than that. RIP.

She was a beautiful,woman with so much allure .

She was utterly gorgeous and French with it adding an extra layer of style back in the day. I used to love her hair and eyeliner.

An amazingly beautiful style icon. A one off, she wore the original "just got out of bed hair effortlessly" France will mourn one of their greatest stars.

RIP Brigitte.

I missed hearing that she had died. She was beautiful and did a lot of work with rescue animals.
