Yesterday, French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot died at the age of 91. Her passing prompted this X post: Brigitte Bardot’s death means there are now just three people mentioned in @billyjoel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire who are still alive.— Jon Hollis (@JonHollis9) December 28, 2025 Billy Joel's 1989 song "We Didn't Start the Fire" contains lengthy lists of prominent people and major events from 1949, when Joel was born, until 1989.
