In a number of movies, notably And God Created Woman, she broke contemporary film taboos against nudity and set box-office records in Europe and the United States. Bardot retired from acting in 1973 and subsequently became an outspoken animal rights activist. In 1986 she established an animal welfare organization, the Foundation Brigitte Bardot.
