8. She was a classic pin-up type of woman.

I am a woman, but I have to say no actress ever had a better figure than Bardot in her youth. She had the height, which was a benefit in that regard, and she had been trained as a dancer. She was quite the beauty when she was VERY young, before cigarettes and sun worshipping at St. Tropez aged her looks prematurely. When I say that, she noticeably aged before she turned 25. I give her credit for never undergoing the knife and letting herself age naturally. I can't fault her for that.

I CAN fault her for being a fascist, a racist, a xenophobe, a misogynist, and a homophobe. There is NOTHING to admire about her as a person. I don't think she was so involved with animal "rights" because she was in love with animals as much as she hated people. She was a misanthropist of the worst type.
