‘The Education of Pam Grier’
New York magazine has a profile on Pam Grier in this week’s issue. And if you think it is hard out here for a pimp…it is really hard out here for a Black actress.
“Back in 1975, Grier was a newly minted curiosity, the jaw-dropping, jaw-breaking star of blaxploitation flicks such as Coffy and Foxy Brown—subversive, explosive movies that weren’t so much about introducing the mainstream to black urban culture as they were about declaring that black urban culture couldn’t care less what the mainstream thought.”
The article also has a link to her 1975 interview with the same magazine.
