RIP to a legend. I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with Brigitte Bardot. She was talented and had a presence to her, but I never found her gorgeous and thought she could be a little stuck up. She was great in a lot of films, especially Viva Maria and The Legend of Frenchie King, but occasionally it felt like she did the same thing every film. Not too sure how many people know this, but part of her reason for switching to full time animal activism was because she realized she wasn’t aging gracefully and wanted audiences to remember her as she was. I do give her credit for her support of animal rights, but like most activists she got a little too caught up in it and crazy things happened. She just had this odd ying and yang to her.

RIP. A belated RIP to Claudia Cardinale as well.

Don’t think a character assassination is what’s needed on a ‘Rest in Peace’ thread ?

I’m certain she was a ‘Diva’ type, like most of her contemporaries and the vast majority of actors and actresses - But nevertheless she was a very big deal in her day, and I feel it’s highly inappropriate to list her failings as a human being, as you see them, based on some 3rd hand opinions found online.

I would like to apologize for that, for some reason my head’s been in a funk going all different directions at once, not normally like me at all. I was trying not to be disrespectful, and it came out as such anyway

Christmas stress perhaps?

Anyway, thank you for being big enough to retract your statement, it just rattled me a bit.

All friends again. Take care

His comment didn’t come across as too offensive to me
sorry for that and sorry if I offended anybody for liking it. I didn’t know that’s why she retired (if what he said was true), so I just found it informative.

RIP the legendary Robert Duvall

Was totally taken aback and surprised by this news, thought for sure he’d make it to 100. Along with Harry Dean Stanton, I always thought Robert Duvall was one of the most versatile character actors in the Golden Age. Believe it or not, my first Robert Duvall experience was both To Kill a Mockingbird and A Family Thing, To Kill a Mockingbird I saw in school in 6th grade and A Family Thing aired a lot on cable TV. RIP Mr. Duvall.
