BEAUTY IS NOT FOREVER

Brigitte Bardot

It's interesting (even shocking in a way) to see the physical difference between Brigitte, the sex kitten of the 1950s and 60s, and Brigitte, the 73-year-old animal rights activist. A reminder that aging is life's equalizer. It's something we all face, so we might as well do something productive and meaningful with our lives, because that's what really counts. I admire her gumption--she has always shunned plastic surgery and for many years she's poured her energy into challenging governments to acknowledge the rights of animals.
