Exhibit B: Loren.


She's held up a lot better.

The difference, I think, is character.

Sophia is just ten times the persona BB ever was.

And Bardot is apparently now a racist militant animal activist.

My esteem for her has dropped through the basement over the last few years.

I read that thing about the BB racism and didn't get it. What she said (can't remember what is was now) didn't appear racist to me - just looked like a bunch of lefties jumping on an out-of-context quote 'coz there wasn't a war or similar event for them to moan about that week.

I'm not so sure.

This is a left-wing site, but the quotes are pretty clear IMO.
http://www.indybay.org/news/2003/05/1610376_comment.php
"I do not hold religious Muslims in high esteem," she concedes in her introduction, and throughout the book her deepest wrath is reserved for the "Islamisation" of France and -- her particular bete noire -- the Muslim ritual of animal sacrifice at Eid el-Kebir.

"For 20 years we have submitted to a dangerous and uncontrolled underground infiltration. Not only does it fail to give way to our laws and customs. Quite the contrary, as time goes by it tries to impose its own laws on us," Bardot writes.

"We were disturbed by their barbaric practices; we went to court; we condemned their unacceptable behaviour which left homes covered in blood, and filled rubbish chutes with skin, bone and oozing brains. To no avail!" says the activist, who has been convicted three times for inciting racial hatred.

[...]

"All those 'youths' who terrorise the population, rape young girls, train pit-bulls for attack ... spit on the police -- they are the ones who at the smallest signal from their chiefs will suddenly put us through the same kind of thing that happened in a Moscow theatre."

There are plenty of other targets for Bardot's unflinching abuse -- notably modern gays who, unlike her own dignified homosexual friends, "jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air and with their little castrato voices moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through."

[...]

Not even French prostitutes are what they used to be, bemoans the star of "And God created Woman."

"Our lovely, kind street-walkers have been replaced by girls from the East, Nigerians, travellers, trans-sexuals, drag-queens, bearers of AIDS (news - web sites) and other friendly gifts. Having a risk-free go is becoming a real exploit," Bardot writes.

It is time, she says, to re-open the "maisons closes" -- the authorised brothels shut down by the government in 1946 when Bardot was 11.

"All spent fluids would enjoy the medical and sanitary surveillance that is indispensible to our age -- an age in which all venereal diseases come to us borne by men and women who traffic their various orifices and contaminate those who fill them," she writes.
While I like her stance on prostitution, I think the general gist here is clear.

Oh, and apparently she likes Jean-Marie Le Pen for his "consistency and clarity".

Okay.

Arhh. Now the quote is refreshed in my memory, I remember why I thought it wasn't racism. Islam isn't a race. I doubt the lefties would have jumped on her and started with the "racial hatred" comments if she was moaning about Christianity. Which perhaps proves her point.

(not intended for discussion - just a heads up as to why her comments didn't register as racism to me - this is not the politics lounge!)

I see - the blood and bone comment was apparently directed at slaughtering practices and stems from her career as an animal-rights activist.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

Another animal activist (though doing it right--if I may say), she created Shambala Preserve as a refuge for wild animals that were being sold or kept as pets.

No photos but:

Honor Blackman,
Joanna Lumley
Audrey Hepburn (sigh!)
Jane Fonda (not too shabby)

yep, there are some good ones out there, this list is sure to build as the older ones amongst us relive our adolescent angst
