According to the Hollywood Reporter, in 2006, revered French actress Brigette Bardot wrote a letter to now president of France, Sarkozy, protesting that the Muslim method for slaying sheep for Eid Al-Kabeer. However, more problematic were the sentences that followed:
“We’re fed up with being led around by this whole population which is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts,” she wrote.
With the possibility of paying 15,000 euros ($25,000) for “inciting racial hatred toward the Muslim community,” the French starlet, with a history of “similar offenses,” could face her fifth fine (my favorite part of the story):
Prosecutor Anne de Fontette said she was “a bit tired” of pursuing the former starlet for the same offense. Bardot has been convicted of similar offenses on four previous occasions since 1997 and fined $2,250-$7,500.

That proves once and for all that Deneuve rather than Bardot is the queen of French Cinema.
