2. Pam Grier moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1967, where she was initially hired as a receptionist at American International Pictures.
3. Pam Grier sang back-up for singer-composer Bobby Womack. Womack’s composition and 1972 recording of the song “Across 110th Street” was the theme song of the film Jackie Brown (1997), which marked a major comeback for Grier in the starring and title role. She was nominated for a Golden Globe® and an NAACP Image Award for her performance.
4. Pam Grier’s early films such as 1971’s Women in Cages and The Big Doll House were filmed in the Philippines. While there she contracted a deadly tropical disease and nearly died. She lost her hair and was temporarily blind for almost a month. It took nearly a year for her to recover.
5. Pam Grier and Quentin Tarantino Trivia Part 1: The character Alabama in 1993’s True Romance was named after Pam Grier’s character in 1971’s Women in Cages. In the original script, Clarence(Christian Slater’s character) even mentions that the name sounds like a Pam Grier Character. True Romance was written by Tarantino.
6. Pam Grier and Quentin Tarantino Trivia Part 2: Grier auditioned for two parts in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction (1994) but didn’t land either role. When Tarantino decided to make Elmore Leonard’s novel, Rum Punch, into a movie he thought about Grier. He renamed the novel’s “Jackie Burke” to “Jackie Brown” as an homage to Greer’s Foxy Brown (1974) movie. He then cast Grier in the lead role.
7. Pam Grier is considered to be the first African-American female to headline an action film.
8. Pam Grier has never been married. She has been romantically linked to basketball Hall of Fame players Kareem Abdul-Jabaar & Wilt Chamberlain, actors Richard Pryor & Freddie Prinze and Soul Train’s Don Cornelius.
9. Pam Grier is working on turning her bestselling autobiography, Foxy: My Life in Three Acts, into a movie, and has some dream casting in mind: comedian Jay Pharoah as Richard Pryor and Roberto Benigni as Italian director Federico Fellini.

Hey Dan
1. Thanks for adding these lists to the page.
2. Actually surprised that Pam is on the current list….though she is dropping.
3. Sid Haig seems to be her most frequent of co-stars…..all of those early 1970s.
4. A shout out to Bob Minor as well….5 movies together in those early Grier movies.
5. Judge Reinhold in Bad Grandmas?……have not seen him much lately……not surprised he is off the current list.
6. 12 Oscar winners…Mars Attacks! is the movie that has the most winners.
Good stuff…..thanks for putting it together.
Hey Damon…good point about her being the action star with the one liners….years before Arnold, Stallone and Willis were doing that in the 1980s. An action legend for sure! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for featuring the gorgeous and hugely talented Pam Grier. She has struggled constantly against Hollywood film industry sexism and prejudice her entire career. She remains a classy lady, compassionate of others, and incredibly grateful and kind to her millions of her fans. God bless you Pam Grier!
Hey Frank. I agree with your comments…”gorgeous and hugely talented”….and that she struggled with “film industry sexism and prejudice”. Luckily at this point she seems to have reached a level of “high regard” in Hollywood. A lot has changed since her film debut in 1970. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Pam Grier.
Hello Bruce,
Very interresting page, i only know her by Jackie Brown, that was her moment in France because Tarantino gave her a part which was strong, like for a man;
And everybody was speaking about her performance on this film;
That was her moment in France
Thank and good day
Pierre
Hey Pierre. Pam Grier became of the most famous actresses in North America in the 1970s. She has remained in the public eye for almost 50 years. Glad that Jackie Brown was able to get her noticed in France. Thanks for the viewpoint from France.
Thank you for the Pam Grier page, she was one of my top actress growing up to watch. Seeing some of her movies that you listed bring back some fond memories.
Hey G. Vandross. Glad you were able to check out your requested Pam Grier page. It is off to a very good start….lots of views and lots of comments…..added bonus….it was even liked by Pam Grier herself. So in a way…..you were able to reach out and make contact with her….gotta love the internet. Equally glad that the page has brought back so many fond memories.

Hey Dan
1. Thanks for adding these lists to the page.
2. Actually surprised that Pam is on the current list….though she is dropping.
3. Sid Haig seems to be her most frequent of co-stars…..all of those early 1970s.
4. A shout out to Bob Minor as well….5 movies together in those early Grier movies.
5. Judge Reinhold in Bad Grandmas?……have not seen him much lately……not surprised he is off the current list.
6. 12 Oscar winners…Mars Attacks! is the movie that has the most winners.
Good stuff…..thanks for putting it together.
One of a kind. She was Arnold and Stallone 10 years before them. An action legend!
Hey Damon…good point about her being the action star with the one liners….years before Arnold, Stallone and Willis were doing that in the 1980s. An action legend for sure! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for featuring the gorgeous and hugely talented Pam Grier. She has struggled constantly against Hollywood film industry sexism and prejudice her entire career. She remains a classy lady, compassionate of others, and incredibly grateful and kind to her millions of her fans. God bless you Pam Grier!
Hey Frank. I agree with your comments…”gorgeous and hugely talented”….and that she struggled with “film industry sexism and prejudice”. Luckily at this point she seems to have reached a level of “high regard” in Hollywood. A lot has changed since her film debut in 1970. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Pam Grier.
Hello Bruce,
Very interresting page, i only know her by Jackie Brown, that was her moment in France because Tarantino gave her a part which was strong, like for a man;
And everybody was speaking about her performance on this film;
That was her moment in France
Thank and good day
Pierre
Hey Pierre. Pam Grier became of the most famous actresses in North America in the 1970s. She has remained in the public eye for almost 50 years. Glad that Jackie Brown was able to get her noticed in France. Thanks for the viewpoint from France.
Thank you for the Pam Grier page, she was one of my top actress growing up to watch. Seeing some of her movies that you listed bring back some fond memories.
Hey G. Vandross. Glad you were able to check out your requested Pam Grier page. It is off to a very good start….lots of views and lots of comments…..added bonus….it was even liked by Pam Grier herself. So in a way…..you were able to reach out and make contact with her….gotta love the internet. Equally glad that the page has brought back so many fond memories.
