French icon Brigitte Bardot, renowned as one of the sexiest women of the 20th century, recently surfaced on her 89th birthday after years of seclusion. The film legend, secretly married to husband Bernard d’Ormale for 31 years, had a health scare earlier this year due to respiratory issues.

Known for her sultry charisma, Bardot, also a prominent animal rights activist, leads a colorful life. Despite initial doubts from friends, her secret marriage in 1992 brought newfound happiness. Bernard has been a steadfast companion through her health challenges, dispelling rumors of a sedative overdose in 1992 and addressing recent respiratory difficulties caused by age and a faulty air conditioning system.
