"On October 1, Brigitte Bardot published Mon BBcedaire, a small white-covered book in the form of a notebook, reproduced in her own handwriting in blue ink. Amid crossed-out words, she pours out her thoughts in alphabetical form, from A for Abandonment to Z for Zoo. At 91 years old (she celebrated her birthday on September 28), the eternal muse of French cinema left a kind of final testament that summarizes her unfiltered personality."
"On the first page of the book are two unequivocal quotes from the BB philosophy: Freedom is being yourself, even when it's uncomfortable and Animals are the angels of this earth. They deserve our respect more than our apologies. While Greta Garbo retired from film and public scrutiny at 36, Bardot, who died Saturday, did the same at 39 after making The Edifying and Joyous Story of Colinot, a 1973 comedy about medieval love affairs."

She remained publicly active with frequent and impactful interviews and statements until her death.
