The legendary French actress died at 91, according to a statement from her foundation provided to CNN on Sunday. Six years older than Bardot, Vadim, an aspiring filmmaker, would become a love interest to the future actress and play a major role in her rise to movie stardom. Prior to that, foreign actresses became international celebrities only after starring in American movies, but Bardot resisted pressure to go to Hollywood. “Contempt” remains the one Bardot film considered a classic, but it’s atypical of the star’s usual light fare. Just as she made her own rules as a film star, Bardot provoked controversy as an animal rights activist.

I tried “Japanese walking,” “retro walking,” “meditative walking,” “rucking,” walking earlier in the mornings, “6-6-6 walking,” “mindful walking,” strolling like a Jane Austen heroine, and “colour walking” this year (phew). “6-6-6” walking, for instance, was based on great theory, but I found it a little too prescriptive in practice.

Can you tell I love a walking trend – something quantitative, research-backed, and trackable?
