Doesn't she hates mixed kids?

I don't know how old that quote is, but John Gilmore (person who said it) must've been referring to a 50s-60s era Bardot. She wasn't educated back then but she did read a lot after she retired from cinema, so I don't know how educated she might be nowadays.
- I'm not sure he was referring to her education level, but to her intellectual capability and back in the 50s-60s it must have been relatively easy to check hers. In fact, it is relatively easy to check it for 4- or 5-year-olds.
"Things of any depth whatsoever" doesn't necessarily restrict to the last book by Althusser or Marcusse. It could have been about her own daily work life, for instance especially if, as you say below, she wasn't such a bad actress after all and thus really had interesting things to talk about with respect to her work life. I've had deep conversations with people who could barely read and write, but who could pulverize any objective IQ test if they had the proper training. - You know how educated she might be, you just have to listen to her interviews. The whole interviews, that is, not excerpts.
I'm not trying to be too argumentative, but have you read any of her books? A lot of her quotes were taken out of context over the years and I get the feeling that people are disappointed because some of the things she said are politically incorrect.
I've read many interviews with her. And excerpts (yes, excerpts, I just couldn't stomach the whole thing) of books. And I understand Gilmore's quote perfectly.
As to her acting abilities, it's subjective. Since she worked with French A-list stars and directors, and even won awards for her acting, she couldn't have been all looks. I think people are just saying she had no talent because she was blonde and sexy.
Same mistake as with Marilyn. She was blonde and troubled (though not as much as Marilyn), hence she isn't so stupid.
Steven Seagal has worked with Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, Brian Cox, Halle Berry, John Leguizamo, Sharon Stone, Kris Kristofferson5b4, Kurt Russell, Michael Caine, R. Lee Ermey, Henry Silva, William Sadler, Patrick O'Neal, William Forsythe, Eric Bogosian,
What awards did she get? Do awards measure real talent? is this your conclusion?
Bardot isn't a very good communicator but she can't be a major airhead. If you read some of her quotes you'll see that she has a gift for rhetoric; and she also managed her money well enough to be able to live well despite not working for almost 40 years.
Can you give me some of those quotes, please? The ones proving she has a gift for rhetoric. They seem to be kind of elusive when I look for them.
I know of porn stars and soccer players who are rich enough now to retire and live from their profits. Not very famous, not very talented. Porn stars who didn't win any AVN award and soccer players who didn't win any World Cup, if awards are so special to you. It doesn't need special talent. It only needs patience (or good guidance from someone, as was the case) and being lucky enough not to get an STD or a serious injury.
Is this a symptom of intelligence to you? Would you trade places with people like this? It isn't to me, and I wouldn't.

Hitchcock never won an Oscar. Neither did Peter O'Toole. Neither did Deborah Kerr. Some guy called Robert Benton won 3 and History has put him fairly in the limbo of the unknown. I bet you didn't even know him before this message.
Does that mean that Benton is more talented than these people?

My English isn't perfect and I'm not ashamed of it.
It only shows how narrow-minded actually are YOU, if you don't get the sentence
Which is not good for you.
A child between 4-5 years old would get it, I think

Beautiful soundtrack by Delerue. Wonderfully pathetic role by Piccoli a cuckold in the physical sense, and also in the existential one. Altogether creative, as (nearly) always, direction by Godard. Even Palance did his job well.
And then there was this ditzy blonde who looked gorgeous what was her name
oh damn. Won't remember. Well the only thing she had to do is look gorgeous. That's why the film was great. Everyone did what they could, to the limit of2000 their possibilities.
Don't blame yourself. I'm sure you're still young enough to find a vocational career, in spite of all the hours of cold sweat and bitten lips in front of the computer in a dark room. I'm sure you can perform to the limit of your own possibilities as well.

It's quite pathetic that you don't remember name of the woman in whose message board you're writing now
Do you have a goldfish's memory or something?
BTW, my life is my own thing and I can do whatever I want, and it's not your business.
And I truly think you're speaking up for yourself. I'm even sure
PS: It's sad that you're watching such a boring beep like 'Le Mepris' in your spare time. I wouldn't waste my time that much.
Unfortunately, the film is one big BOREDOM. In my opinion Brigitte is the only point to see the movie.
And that's all.
Viva Bardot! -

Being so rude and hateful for me you're only showing your level of education and class which is below ground. Less than zero.
That's all.
Every other comment is useless.
It's sad that you must demean and insult others to feel better. I feel sorry for you.

Having a BAFTA nomination isn't exactly a synonym for talent. Neither is an Oscar (nomination). As I said before (and you carefully avoided answering) there are people who won 3 Oscars who are the epitome of mediocrity, and yet actors and directors with none of them who have written their name in History with fiery capital letters.
English isn't my first language either, and yet my sentences are relatively easy to understand. Bardotek's problem isn't language and you know it.
Of course, stupid people have a right to live, too, as well as to pursue their own happiness. That's why democracy was made: to make stupid people feel protected and free. So be it for many years.
But they first have to acknowledge their stupidity and bardotek has trouble doing so. -

Talent is subjective so there's no point in arguing over it. You may think those Oscar recipients were mediocre, but the Academy apparently saw something else.
Who decides whether the threshold of mediocrity starts at the list of nominees or the list of winners? You? Besides, he wasn't nominated regularly, and many of his best films didn't receive a nominatio1c84n, whereas severely mediocre filmmakers (e.g. Costner) not only received nominations but actually won the Oscar for a film (Dances with wolves) which I hope you don't consider a masterpiece.
If Bardot was so talentless, can you explain to me why she was nominated/won awards for her acting? Did she pay someone, or whatever cliched conspiracy theory people often use to discredit someone who won an award?
As I said, awards or nominations don't mean beep I've given you examples and you either ignored them or misunderstood them. She probably did pay a lot of people, only not with money. Vadim, to start with. Or are you going to tell me that she married him because of his good looks?
Congratulations on learning English before Bardotek did. For all we know, he may never had studied the language and uses online translation sites to communicate. There are many people in the world who don't know English, are they all stupid? Despite his lack of English skills, Bardotek is quite accomplished for his young age. But I will leave it up to him to list what those accomplishments are if he wishes.
Bardotek can defend himself and doesn't need your help. And if he needs it then he's a more pathetic human being than I thought. Just remain focused on Bardot and let the idiots sit at the kiddies' table. -

Of course it's easy to offend others, hiding in front of computer. It's sad that you're wasting your time on that kind of stuff.
The worst thing is that you are so dumb and unhappy that can understand meanings of something like: love, friendship, honour and pride for example, if you think that people are with others to get some profits from the second person.
Actually Brigitte Bardot FELL in love with Vadim, but it looks like you never was, nor you are or never will be happy to know what does it mean.
I hardly can't imagine someone to be so desperate to try help you.
That's really sad.
Remember: you do not wish others what is not nice for you.
Best regards.
I'll pray for you, because it looks you're more unfortunate creature than I thought.
Viva Bardot!
