It is June 19, 2023. Date on which Mireille Dumas signs her return in front of the camera. Indeed, after 40 years of career, the journalist has decided to step back and devote herself to a “life of Youtubeuse”. However, in a few days, she returns to the small screen with a new documentary focused on Brigitte Bardot. Called “Brigitte Bardot the insoumise” and available on Canal + Doc, this report is dedicated to the icon of the 7th art and will narrate the key moments of her existence.
guest on “C to You” this Friday, June 16, Mireille Dumas made some revelations about “BB” and the fact that she has always cultivated discretion. “She said and repeated that she was in a prison. And she never stopped escaping each time from the shackles […]of the family straitjacket first, then of the couple and finally, of the cinema”. Indeed, Brigitte Bardot drew a line very early on the cinema, in 1973. As Mireille Dumas confided to Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, the 88-year-old actress was “afraid of aging in the cinema”.

Brigitte Bardot still so frank, Mireille Dumas does not believe her eyes
“Yes, she says it. She is also in the paradox […]. At the same time, she accepts to age, she has not had recourse to cosmetic surgery […] there, she is filmed with her wrinkles, but she wanted to leave the cinema before […] don’t call him anymore”, continues the journalist. Always in the daily France 5, Mireille Dumas unveiled an excerpt from the report to be found on June 19. An extract in which she does not hesitate to crop the icon.
In the magneto broadcast by Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, we can hear Brigitte Bardot let go: “We have said everything and its opposite about Brigitte Bardot… my God. All that is much simpler”. “I lived the way I wanted to live, the way I felt, giving a damn about women’s liberation and all that stuff that makes good women very unhappy because they’re too liberated in Ultimately…”she continues before being cut off by the journalist: “Oh, no, you can’t say that!”. Not enough to disconcert the 88-year-old actress. “Ooh! If I say so! Of course I say so!”she retorted without bending a single second, without fearing the criticism that could result.
