Brigitte Bardot's Final Act: A 'Simple' Saint-Tropez Funeral

French film legend Brigitte Bardot will be laid to rest this Wednesday. Her funeral will be held in her longtime hometown of Saint-Tropez. The service is planned as a quiet, "simple" event. Organizers say this reflects her wishes and her well-known passions. Bardot was a major advocate for animal welfare. Later in life, she also publicly supported far-right political ideas. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen is expected to attend the ceremony. French President Emmanuel Macron will not be present. Bardot became an international symbol of beauty and style in the 1950s and 60s. She died last week at the age of 88.
