Born May 26, 1949, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Pam Grier is more than just a woman, she's an icon. Any time you see a woman kicking ass in movies, you can thank her.Notable Films:
Ms. Fanservice: Her boobs were an important part of a whole generation of men's puberties.
One of Us: a self-described bookish nerd in real life. The Mars Attacks! role appealed to her because of the comics she grew up reading.
Or the sketch on Mad TV where she plays a back superhero from the future who goes back to the 1950s to reassure a bunch of black heroes from that era that their contribution to black hero-ing is indeed important.
