My little Milou, tell your father that I had a terrible attack of renal colic and that I'm still suffering. I'm on a draconian diet and I'm horribly tired. So, of course, it's not the time to receive anyone. It's better for you, lovely Milou, bad for us, poor decadent human beings. But we'll have other opportunities and my friendship, it's not sick! Love each other very much, I send you both a kiss. Brigitte.

Brigitte Bardot (1934 - 2025) was an icon of French culture, one of the most famous French artists. A film actress and singer, she was the leading female figure of the 1950s and 1960s. A global star, a symbol of the modern woman and sexual freedom, she worked with the greatest directors, shining in 48 films and more than 80 songs during her 21-year career.

In Brazil, Bardot became famous for her visits to Búzios, a small fishing town that, after her visits, became one of the most sophisticated and sought-after spots in the Brazilian summer. Also known as "BB," Bardot ended her career in 1973 and became an animal rights activist. Since then, she has lived reclusively in her famous house near Saint Tropez, making rare public appearances.

This lengthy letter, particularly original due to its unusual recipient, also draws attention for this phrase: "It's better for you, lovely Milou, bad for us, poor decadent human beings," with which she demonstrates her love for animals and her contempt for humans. The document is in perfect condition, with its original envelope and the rounded handwriting characteristic of Brigitte Bardot.
