After retiring from performing, Brigitte Bardot used her fame and cash to promote animal rights.
She turned vegetarian, and established the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Welfare and Protection of Animals in 1986.
Auctioning off her personal private belongings and jewelry, Bardot raised over 1,000,000 {dollars} for the basis.
“I gave my beauty and my youth to men,” Bardot stated at the time. “And now I am giving my wisdom and experience, the best of me, to animals.”
