Episode description
Brigitte Bardot, the iconic French actress and singer who revolutionised 1960s cinema, has died aged 91 at her home in the south of France. The blonde bombshell starred in nearly 50 films including the controversial 1956 hit 'And God Created Woman', which was banned by the Vatican for being too sexualised. After retiring from acting in 1973, Bardot devoted her later life to animal rights activism, establishing the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, though her legacy remains complicated by later controversies including fines for inciting racial hatred.
