French cinema icon Brigitte Bardot has died at the age of 91, her foundation said on Sunday. She was a 1950s and 1960s sex symbol, later becoming a fervent animal rights activist and outspoken critic of mass immigration and what she called the \u201cIslamisation\u201d of France.
\nBardot was reportedly hospitalized earlier this year, and her foundation denied rumors of her death in November. On Sunday, it announced she had died, although no cause of death was disclosed.<\/p>\n
