What can we say about the passing of one of the greatest blonde bombshell goddesses to ever do it. A seminal visionary maverick.
French acting legend Brigitte Bardot is gone at 91.
Brigitte Bardot, known for a century of work as an actress and sex/style groundbreaker, as well as a ginormous, endless animal‑rights activist. (Yes, she also carried a long trail of public controversies and polarizing political statements over the decades — but today, we’re centering the art, the iconography, the cinematic thunder she brought into the world.)
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
She passed today on Sunday, December 28, at her home in southern France. News was confirmed to the AP by Bruno Jacquelin of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Protection of Animals.
She was a one‑of‑one, an individual, groundbreaking, thoughtful furry‑lover thinker. Provocation and beauty were Brigitte’s signature. She got her start in the 1956 “And God Created Woman,” the film that didn’t just introduce her — it detonated her into global superstardom and helped define the modern idea of onscreen sensuality.
That movie, directed by Roger Vadim, is still cited as a cultural pivot point for French cinema and the international sexual revolution.
Rest, Miss Bardot!
