I'm reading her memoir, and it is astonishing, inspiring, and badass.
They criticized you and your peers for the films that you were starring in, and disparagingly termed the Black Film Experience: "Blaxploitation", but we kids loved it. We saw our own people on the screen, not playing maids, or butlers, or kowtowing down to whites and talking that YESSIR MASSA lingo, but playing leading roles. It was an inspiration to us, and every Sunday afternoon, we would pack theatres to see our Black heroes. Those same so called Blaxploitation movies eventually lead to more quality films being made, and now people of color have won awards, both for acting, and directing. Much respect to the beautiful Pam Grier, and
Rest in Peace to Tamara Dobson.
@Sandra Brown.As a 9 thru 12 yrs old going to see these " Black Experience ( hate blaxploitation) films one thing was guaranteed: WE ALWAYS WON...Guaranteed we won in the end.Pam was my favorite along with Calvin Lockhart and Fred Williamson.Always loved the feeling I had when I walked out the theater as a shorty like NOBODY CAN TOUCH ME...I felt SO proud with my head up high.Those days will never re occur, but the memories are forever.Thanks to all the actors and actresses who paved the way back then.Pam is STILL the QUEEN on the SCREEN
I wish this perspective was talked about more often with respect to the "blaxpoitation" genre
Pam Grier is such an icon and a heroine for black women! This lady is a pioneer!
I could literally listen to this queen speak all day .
She was our QUEEN when i was growing up in the 70's.9, 10,11, 12 yrs old going to see her movies.I will always love Pam!!
Her personality is everything! She's really of a vivacious woman.
Foxy Brown💪🏾👑
Pam Grier, Angela Bassett and Phylicia Rashad are the 3 Queens
I heard Angela Bassett is a man. No lie.
@@ArtisanWindchimes oh shit u read up on that too? 😬
Artisan Windchimes where?
@@ArtisanWindchimes ?? Really?
@@djkoolrod just look it up and decide for yourself. I don't know what to think.
This woman is ageless. fine as hell. like she would wear you out, make you call her big momma, then cook you grits and eggs in the AM. 100% facts I'm sure
SHIN2341 I don't think Pam cooking anybody anything and you better take ya shoes off at the door. Lol
lol

Heart Beatz sexy
@@alfredjones9548 very...
Not like she once was. She was sexy for a long time. Now she's elegant
😂😂😂
I love when yall bring the old legends on the show.
Pam Grier is a true Gemini, we're very quiet, but we're very talkative when we're comfortable! Love her! Aww...no mention of Jackie Brown?
This is the woman Will & Uncle Phil said "DAAAMN!" at.
One of the most underrated actresses of all time, and she still looks great
She doesn’t look great let’s be honest. Age is tough on women. But she was a great actress
@@n_a8917 Most men in Hollywood don't look that great either at a Curtain age...but they still continue to put these out of shape fat old farts in movies....she is in her 70's wtf do you expect her to look like...a teenager...she doesn't get botox and have a fake face and fake body parts to appease you.
Age is really tough and scary for men especially...because they look all raggedy and they die first.
@@n_a8917 💀💀
One of the only times I agree with saying underrated
@@n_a8917 I respect your honest opinion
She's back The Legendary Pam Grier... Amazing Beautiful Actress!
She has so much life experience. Her mention of the Kent State University incident while discussing her past just amazes me 18:40
I could listen to her speak ALL DAY LONGGGGG! I FREAKING LOVE IT! Awesome interview!
Living legend... As I listen to this interview, I can feel her... Devotion and commitment and dedication to the movement. How many black folks talk like this still? I'm so proud of you Pam Grier! Queen right HERE. SO REAL.
What made me a black supporter is this feeling. I cheer you on still today. I am Chinese. ✊🏿
Always had a crush on Pam Grier
WOW, she has wisdom and she applied it through life. I knew some of her history, but she is a BOSS, straight business. There are so many people who does not have your best interest, you have to level up. I am glad that she stuck to what she knew as a person and I am extra glad that her family grounded her. At one point all I knew was "pam grier" not Boss or Business Lady Grier.... WHEN WISDOM SPEAK, you better listen and pay strong attention....
This women is pure class.
Big respect to pam grier
