Brigitte Bardot passed away at 91 on December 28 at her Saint Tropez home following repeated hospitalizations. A global movie legend of the 1950s and 1960s, she starred in And God Created Woman, The Truth, and Viva Maria!, receiving a BAFTA nod. In 1973, she stepped away from acting to concentrate on animal rights, stating, “I gave my youth and beauty to men; I give my wisdom and experience to animals.”
