Lolita, rebel and radical animal protector - we're talking about Brigitte Bardot, who is being honored here.

Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot , born on September 28, 1934 in Paris, was formerly a film actress, former model, singer and erotic icon.
In 1952 she made hers first feature film: "Le Trou Normand". Jean Boyer was the director at the time.
The international breakthrough came in 1956 with Vadim's first film "And always lures the woman". The film was also a great success in America - it founded the & ldquo; Brigitte Bardot myth & ldquo;.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Brigitte Bardot was one of the most sought-after and most photographed women in the world. She was married to Gunter Sachs from 1966 to 1969.
In 1973 she suddenly ended her career as a film actress. Since then she has never made a feature film again.
In 1960 everything became too much for her - the hype, animal abuse and broken relationships, and from then on she was committed to animal welfare.
She actively supports the environmental protection organization Sea Shepherd, which named a ship after her in 2011.
