According to Bardot, a goat is what ended her career. At the time, she was landing multiple films and was an often-cast actress. But out of the blue, she retired from all of her many trades, including acting, singing and modeling. She explained in an interview with Vogue that she was filming in France when she came across a goat that was going to be roasted. She rescued it and brought it back to her hotel. She claims that if they hadn’t allowed her in, she would have slept outside with the goat. The goat brought about an epiphany for Brigitte. She was starting to get tired of acting, and this was the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Ultimately, she decided to leave fame to work with animals.
