Brigitte Bardot is 79, having been born in 1934. In her younger days, she was active on behalf of the Rosenbergs, who were executed in 1953 for atomic espionage. Seems she is following the French tradition of starting out on the left but ending up on the right.
“She was active on behalf of the Rosenbergs, who were executed in 1953 for atomic espionage.” That I DID NOT KNOW!!! My take from that is this; Since most of Brigette’s stardom was experienced in France (an historically Vichy country) she escaped many of the consequences that Rosenberg association would have brought her in the U.S. I recall hearing people still talking about both Rosenbergs during my childhood, and it was always with a hushed trepidation.
Free speech isn’t always popular with either the left or the right.
