Ah thanks, I didn't really know anything about her. But, I can't get upset if someone got a bit mush-headed at age 91.
I've seen about 40 variations of this exact comment today.
Is there like an army of bots trying to protect a Nazi's legacy?
I think just a lot of people like me who had heard of the person but had no awareness of her issues. She was a famous actress in the 1950s-1960s which was way before most of us were around, or at least paying attention. After that, she may have made some noise in France but I don't remember much of it reaching here. I probably would have mentioned it if I knew about or remembered it.
Anyway, the point of being a sex bomb is that nobody dares disagree with you about anything since it would ruin their chance of getting a date (not that any of us had a chance anyway, even if we were around back then). So you can be as evil as you want and still get unlimited attention and deference. It must be nice. We see that with some show biz types in the present day too, and similarly with some ultra rich dudes.
