First responders were called to the St. Tropez home of cinema icon Brigitte Bardot, who reportedly suffered a breathing issue Wednesday at her French residence.
The 88-year-old actor, long idealized for her looks and liberating sex symbol status, had to be put on oxygen and monitored by health professionals, according to her husband of 30 years, Bernard d'Ormale.
"It was around 9 a.m. when Brigitte had trouble breathing," d'Ormale told local outlet Var-matin. "It was stronger than usual but she didn't lose consciousness… the firemen came and gave her oxygen and then stayed to monitor her."
