French film star Brigitte Bardot placed many mementos of her past lifestyle on display at an auction in Paris on June 17. Miss Bardot hopes to raise 300,000 pounds sterling (444,000 United States (US) dollars) required by French law to start a charitable foundation for animal welfare. On offer at the auction are jewels and clothing which Miss Bardot wore during her various movies. The 52-year-old actress strode into the auction room on the arm of the auctioneer and was presented with a bouquet of flowers. One Paris businessman paid 1,800 pounds sterling (2,520 US dollars) for a wedding worn by the film star at one of her three weddings.
