FRANCE 24 English Brigitte Bardot remembered for acting, activism and controversial politics • FRANCE 24 English

After the death of Brigitte Bardot this Sunday, the international press has been paying tribute to the film star, singer and animal rights activist. While she is celebrated for her contribution to cinema, many criticise her turn towards the extreme right in later life, and convictions for hate speech and racist speech – mostly about Muslims, but also the inhabitants of the French island of Reunion whom she described as “savages”.
