As the vehicle for an unlikely career
resurrection, the inauspiciously titled movie Skinny Dip is hardly
likely to catapult Brigitte Nielsen back into the big league.
The
upcoming low-budget film — about a woman who goes on a shotgun spree,
killing a group of male tormenters — features the equally unpromising
tagline: ‘They took her bikini. They took her virginity. She took her
revenge.’
Actress Miss
Nielsen, who has a minor role, says she defied the threat of kidnap from
drugs gangs while filming in crime-torn Colombia.
Perhaps
it goes without saying that a Palme d’Or award at the next Cannes Film
Festival is hardly on the cards. But then, Brigitte, 49, is brutally
aware that beggars can’t be choosers.
And for now, the Danish-born actress,
the ex-wife of Sylvester Stallone, has more pressing concerns than her
once glittering, but long since washed-up, movie career.
Her
continuing personal disintegration was starkly — and tragically —
illustrated this week in pictures of her drunk and confused in broad
daylight in a Los Angeles park.
