The last husband of the famous Brigitte Bardot revealed what terrible disease hastened the end of the great actress. He also told how the last months of the actress’ life were.
Brigitte Bardot was “taken by cancer” according to her husband, Bernard d’Ormale. In Paris Match, the octogenarian described the last few months he spent with the actress, who died on December 28 at the age of 91.
He said the strong-willed woman’s final months were “all or nothing”. On television, she watched the country’s protests, according to Le Figaro. On her bedside table were the novel Belle Greene by Alexandra Lapierre and a book, a kind of declaration of love for trees, written by Peter Wohlleben, writes Mediafax.
The actress was suffering from cancer and was hospitalized several times, the husband also said.
“She had withstood the two operations she had to treat the cancer that eventually took her life. But she still desperately wanted to return to La Madrague. And that was more complicated, especially with the persistent back pain that was wearing her down.”reported Bernard d’Ormale.
Brigitte Bardot’s faith and energy eroded as her rehabilitation became more difficult. Until that painful morning of December 28, she remembered the man.
“A sense of peace and tranquility settled over her face. And she became incredibly beautiful again, as she had been in her youth. You wouldn’t believe she was 91 years old”her husband said.
He recalled meeting Bardot in 1992 at a dinner party.
The husband revealed that a museum could be set up in the actress’ house
He still does not know if La Madrague, the house where Brigitte Bardot lived since 1958, will be able to become a museum. For now, it’s a moment of reflection. Celebrities and fans are gathering in Saint-Tropez on Wednesday for a final tribute, meant to be “low-key” and mostly private.
“What Brigitte wanted was a simple funeral. Although nothing around her was ever really simple…”, was Bernard d’Ormale’s conclusion.
Brigitte Bardot’s funeral will take place on Wednesday, January 7, in Saint-Tropez. The ceremony will begin at 11:00 local time at the Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church
