S2 Ep1581: MUSIC SCENE Woman of Song Fiona Frensche: A Brigitte Bardot Homage

In this episode of MUSIC SCENE, host Nanette Wiser pays homage with guest and musician/singer Fiona Frensche to Brigitte Bardot, the film siren, singer and animal rights activist who died December 28, 2025. Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot was a French actress, singer, model, and animal rights activist. A symbol of the sexual revolution, she became an international sex symbol in the 1950s and 60s. Bardot was known for her overt sexuality and roles associated with hedonism, breaking taboos against nudity in films like And God Created Woman. She retired from acting in 1973 to devote herself to animal rights, establishing the Foundation Brigitte Bardot in 1986. At the end of this episode, you can listen to Fiona's version of Harley Davidson, recorded and performed by Bardot so long ago.  FIONA FRENSCHE As many of you know, Fiona hosted Women of Song for RadioStPete Sunshine 96.7 FM and her Le Frensche Cabaret (Edith Piaf, Josephine Baker, Bardot) at Marquise Cafe (Saturday morning) and around Tampa Bay is popular, as is her Jazzypopanova performances weekly at The Palms, Tradewinds Island Resort (Tuesday, Wednesday), Adrian's Prime Steakhouse (Thursday), The Deck (Jan. 17 and Jan. 30) and Green Light Lounge & Kitchen Jan. 17.  Follow her on FB. #musicscene #fionafrensche #brigittebardot #nanettewiser #frenchfilmstar #frenchicon #frenchsongs #newwavecinema
