Don't call Kidman a legend!

I have my own word for Nicole Kidman and 'Legend' is very, very far from it. Ms. Bacall was spot on with her comments.

Bacall was right. Kidman is not nor will she ever be a legend. A legend is not just a term to throw around. IMO, none of these so called actors today are anywhere near in Bacall's league. Bacall was a legend due to her unique style, grace and yes, the fact that she was married to perhaps the greatest actor of all time and made four films with him. Kidman married an idiot and the only movie I ever liked her in was "The Hours".

Actors are mere products of a good writer's imagination

The article is trash. Bacall did not "attack" Kidman, as the writer claims; she simply said that the then 37-year-old Kidman had not been in the business long enough to be considered a legend. Nothing hostile about a comment like that at all. This is just another media crap factory trying to manufacture drama out of a completely innocuous remark.

Bacall on Tom Cruise:

Tom Cruise is a maniac. I can't understand the way he conducts his life,' Lauren said in 2008.
'When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behaviour is so shocking.’
She continued about the Top Gun star: 'It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness.'

Oh damn, I forgot all about the Cruise comment from his couch-jumping days. Vicious! Yeah, that's pretty much unequivocally condemning. But I still think the remark about Kidman was fine.

I won't be using it to describe her. I don't mind political acerbity, but openly badmouthing your professional colleagues (personal acerbity) lacks class.

Lauren Bacall was 100% correct.

Vicious, but she was one the few people who can say something like that about a major movie star.

Oh, and she was right...
