Promoting promiscuity, moral decay and cultural rot is a poor legacy.
I would say she suffered enough in the last ten years with her cancer.
radical feminism started with the full onslaught of women as objects.....thx for nothing..
Promoting promiscuity, moral decay and cultural rotHow would you know? Did it affect you when you watched? Did anyone force you to watch what you didn't want to see? Did you like it and that's what bothers you most?
I thought so.
Putting her in the context of her times, much of her fan base were women, for a very good reason.
At the time, the portrayal of women in the movies was along the lines of “Rat Pack Sleaze”: drunken, stale-cigarette-smoke reeking old men lusting after stupid and flabby women whose only potential in life was to be secretaries, then bloated, alcoholic suburban brood mares until the children were raised, then nothing.
More than anything else, she portrayed a women’s fantasy, that they could travel the world, seeing and doing all sorts of interesting things, with a handsome and wealthy husband or boyfriend who would let them (and fund their) doing what they wanted to do.
The proof of this as fantasy in her early movies was the amount of time spent shopping and traveling in the movie, compared to nudity or sex.
A decade later, a former pornographic movie actress created her own film company, Femme Productions, to “make the kind of porn that women like”, for similar reasons, that women wanted their own pornography, and didn’t much care for the pornography that men preferred.
There’s worse people still walking around, breathing, and scheming to wreck the country in worse ways than this lady ever did.
Shame that she died.
“Promiscuity, moral decay, and cultural rot” have been with us - and every society - throughout history. She didn’t start it. It’s up to each individual person to chose the path they take in life.
Living in a society that values freedom and liberty comes with the price of occasionally being exposed to things you disagree with.
