Basinger first gained widespread attention for her performance of Domino Petachi in the James Bond entry Never Say Never Again (1983). She went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her role in The Natural (1984), starred in the erotic drama 9½ Weeks (1986), and played Vicki Vale in Tim Burton's Batman (1989), which remains the highest-grossing film of her career.

A 19-year-old Afghan man, Massoud S., was tried Monday at the Aix-en-Provence court for sexual assault against six goats, one of which died, and a 6-month-old lamb at an educational farm. He has been convicted and sentenced to 30 months in prison and a ban from French territory.
Afghan migrant Massoud S. was initially charged with “serious abuse or act of cruelty against a domestic, tame, or captive animal.” He continued to deny the rapes in this case despite DNA evidence and being caught redhanded raping a goat.
He even told a court psychologist that anyone who did rape the animals only did it to “not rape a woman” since “a goat could not identify him afterward.”
The sexual assaults occurred between February and April and on top of the DNA evidence, his phone location also had him pinged to the crime scene.
“I don’t know how to explain it,” he told the magistrates regarding the ample evidence against him.
Massoud S. reportedly repeatedly raped the animals, which all belonged to an animal shelter and educational farm “Un moment” in Les Pennes-Mirabeau, near Marseille.
Cassandra Sortino, the owner of the establishment, remains deeply traumatized by the mass rape of her animals by the Afghan man.
“We set up this association to do good, and the animals were in danger in our own structure. We cannot explain it morally,” she testified. “We feel like we failed.”
The man, who is from a refugee shelter in the nearby town of Anhofen, was arrested after he was caught on surveillance video.
The man broke into the horse farm at 6:45 p.m. while the family was having dinner. They heard the dog barking and then looked on surveillance monitors, where they saw the man in the stable with his pants down on top of one of the animals.
The boyfriend then ran to the stables to chase down the man, but he had already fled the scene. He continued his pursuit of the suspect though and eventually caught him. Police arrived and placed the man under arrest.
In 2023, a 27-year-old suspect was arrested after he was caught on a surveillance camera raping a pony at a stable south of Hamburg. The 18-year-old pony, which is named “Carrie,” was abused by the man at 1 a.m., with footage showing the man calmly walking onto the property and starting to attack the defenseless animal.
Steffi B. released the footage to German newspaper Bild, which posted stills of the perpetrator on its web publication.
The attack happened in Birkenmoor, which is in Harburg, just a few kilometers from the Hamburg city center.
Even the petting zoo at the park has not been safe. In 2017, a Syrian migrant raped a pony there in front of children.
“My babysitter was out with our son in Görlitzer Park. They witnessed the man sexually assault the pony,” one woman told Berliner Morgenpost at the time. The babysitter took a photo of the man as he raped the pony and provided it to police. The migrant was banned from the petting zoo in response, but it is unclear if he was ever charged by police.
In an era of "I broke a nail" housewife TV women, Peel and Gale were leather wearing, kick you in the teeth superheroes.
They opened the door. Many would follow in their footsteps.
I'm trying hard to ignore the news. So I took the Blue Pill and am binge watching DVDs of The Avengers. The British espionage television series, created in 1961, ran for 161 episodes until 1969.
The show featured John Steed (Patrick Macnee). His most famous assistants were the intelligent, sexy, stylish and assertive women: Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman), Emma Peel (Diana Rigg).
The Avengers was shown in more than 90 countries and made Rigg and Blackman international stars.
The First Avenger
Women from the olden days movies were basically boring. They were largely props on the sets or love interests - - - and were always worried they might break a nail.
But in 1961 (predating James Bond) along comes The Avengers. Suddenly Honor Blackman becomes the first female Superhero on the small or large screen. No longer worried about breaking a nail, a leather clad Blackman is beating the living crap out of bad guys- - - - and yes I do own the complete DVD Avengers set.

Diana Rigg
.
"She was ahead of her time,"said Diana Rigg. "Because she was highly intelligent, capable, witty, sexy, independent."
@CarlaFWard
Rest in peace, Diana Rigg. To a girl growing up in the 60s you were the first kickass woman who could handle her own business and that of other people, too. Maybe the guys out there wanted to know Emma Peel, but plenty of girls wanted to BE her.
Emma Peel, but plenty of girls wanted to BE her.

My family of German immigrants fought for the Union. One of them, in a Pennsylvania regiment, was wounded at Gettysburg.
Many advocated at the time to let our Southern brothers go in peace.
Borders are not written in stone. In 1760 the United States itself didn't even exist, Alaska was Russian, Hawaii was an independent nation and Florida was part of the Spanish Empire.
So why not an independent South???
