Brigitte Bardot's Personal Belongings to Be Auctioned
The sale includes more than 280 items, with proceeds split between her charity and only son, auction house Millon said.
- On Monday, auction house Millon begins selling over 280 personal items from the estate of late French actress Brigitte Bardot in Paris, including her Olivetti typewriter and Repetto ballet shoes.
- Following Bardot's death last year at age 91, her estate was divided between the Fondation Brigitte Bardot and her only son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier, with proceeds from the sale benefiting both parties.
- Bernard Ormale, Bardot's widower, slammed the auction as "disrespectful" and "scandalous," arguing items should have been preserved for future visitors to La Madrague, the home he shared with the actress for 35 years.
- Ormale insisted he refused to be included in her will, stating, "I was the one who told her I didn't want anything at all," while questioning how he could prove ownership of private items.
- Cecile Dupuis of Millon defended the sale, noting it serves fans who "live with her memory" and support her animal welfare cause, preserving the legacy of the "sex kitten" icon.
