Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte, you seem to have become a victim of your own timeliness. For a while there, you were an icon… the quintessential embodiment of an ideal. Does it piss you off that times changed so swiftly and swept you from the collective consciousness so quickly?

“I won’t pretend it didn’t sting. It did. It was easy enough to dismiss the attention of the American Audience, when I lost it, because Americans were believed to be fickle and unrefined in any event. But when the attitudes I represented ceased to connect with young people anywhere, I knew that my fame was doomed. C’est la vie, lol.”
