Please do. Be very careful. Generally speaking banks don’t call you and ask you for information. If that happens, report it to the bank immediately. The only way a con man can get into your bank account is if you somehow open the door to let him in. As I said, be very, very careful. Good luck.

What are you waiting for to begin writing? All you need is a piece of paper and a pencil. The story has six elements: beginning, middle and end, plot, character and setting. Ow, all you have to do is sit down and start at the beginning. Good luck.

I’m glad you enjoyed that piece. It was a great era for Radio, now a last long gone. But I’m delighted. It brought back some memories. And yes, Jean Shepherd was in a class of his own. I wish you well/Jeffrey

That’s exactly the kind of radio I had in mind. And the kind of radio I seriously miss as well.

I am not, in any way, papering over those views. Read my book. They're all there, well documented. And you're right, it's a complicated legacy. But still, she was Bardot. And that's her legacy.

They buried Bardot today in St. Tropez. Au revoir ma belle. More people have left less of a legacy than you.

The answer is something I read many years ago. And I believe it. Living well is the best revenge. Hang in there and know that you are loved for being you.

Yes, there are many people who simply don’t know how to behave properly when other peoples’ feelings are at stake. Because of their own insecurities, they feel threatened. I find intolerance unacceptable and will not stand for it. So I’m on your side when it comes to that. very much so.

If you read the book you'll see we're not dealing with a normal person. She was certainly not a genocidal warmonger. But yes she did have some distasteful views. Still, her life defined a generation. She was a French woman who will always be remembered for many things, especially for being French.

Her best friend for many years was gay, and when she was horrible to him, it wasn't because he was gay. She was incapable of raising Nicholas and left it to his father. Of course her son resented it. Rightly so. But later she tried to reconcile. She even got to know her granddaughters.

I don't know what you're talking about. The word fascist does not appear on her wikipedia page. And the quote was Le Pen, on television. Conservative French doesn't mean trump-like or fascists. And yes, her father was wealthy, so what? My kids have a rich father too. Doesn't make them bad people.

What Le Pen actually said was that Bardot was "exceptional woman" and "incredibly French: free, untamable, whole." And what about her upbringing? And the word fascist does not appear anywhere on her wikipedia page. Why? Because she wasn't. Unless you knew her better than I did.

Not true.

Actually, she wasn't. But then, maybe you knew her better than I did.
