Original Summary
Getty Images Personal possessions of late actress Brigitte Bardot – from Repetto ballet flats and diamond rings to her copy of the Kama Sutra – are being sold at auction on Monday with proceeds going to her animal charity. Fans of the iconic figure, who died last December at the age of 91, have been coming en masse to contemplate the nearly 300 lots on display at the Drouot sale rooms in central Paris. The items are from Bardot's two homes in Saint-Tropez as well as her Paris flat, parts of which are recreated in the display. "Each item on sale bears the trace of an encounter, an involvement, a moment of happiness, a stage of her life. They tell the story of the woman as well as the legend," said her secretary for many years, Frank Guillou. Bardot is seen today as one of the most important female personalities of the late 20th century. As a model and actress from the 1950s, she became an emblem of modern femininity and the sexual revolution before later taking up the cause of animal rights. But later in life she was also criticised for making homophobic slurs and was fined multiple times for inciting racial hatred.

Along with furniture, clothing and religious statuary, kitchen utensils, Le Creuset pans and cigarette lighters are on offer.

The sale also features a large selection of portraits of the star, some erotic. "Brigitte used to say that she didn't want to have to look at her mug all day, so they weren't up on the walls - but she did keep them, either because she knew the artists or because the pictures meant something to her. They were all gifts," said Guillou.

"[The sale] is for all those people who still live with her memory and who keep her cause alive. They are animal lovers and Brigitte Bardot lovers at the same time. The room will be full of all these fans," she said.

"Brigitte could not live without animals around her. When one of them died, she was totally wiped out with grief. They were all buried according to a strict protocol in the gardens, and their photographs had pride of place in her homes," said Guillou. When she died in December, Bardot's estate was divided between her Foundation and her only son Nicolas-Jacques Charrier - who also benefits from the sale.
