French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot died at her home in southern France at age 91. Her foundation announced the news on December 28, 2025, without specifying a cause of death.

Bardot rose to international fame in the 1950s and 1960s as a symbol of sensuality and rebellion. Her breakthrough came with the 1956 film *And God Created Woman*, directed by her then-husband Roger Vadim. The movie showcased her uninhibited style and helped define her as a global icon. She starred in over 45 films, including Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt in 1963, blending charm with a free-spirited persona that influenced fashion, music, and culture worldwide.

In 1973, at age 39, Bardot retired from acting to focus on animal welfare. She founded the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986, using her fame to campaign against animal cruelty, seal hunting, and practices like halal slaughter. Her efforts raised millions and advanced protections for animals across Europe.

Later years brought controversy through her outspoken views on immigration and Islam, leading to multiple convictions in France for inciting racial hatred. Bardot remained unapologetic, prioritizing her causes over public approval. Supporters viewed her as a defender of French traditions and animal rights.

Tributes poured in from French leaders. President Emmanuel Macron called her a “legend of the century” who embodied freedom. Others highlighted her lasting impact on cinema and advocacy.

Bardot’s journey from screen siren to dedicated activist reflected a commitment to living on her own terms. Her legacy endures in film history and ongoing animal protection efforts.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest

Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.

It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?

This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.

Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.

At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.

What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
