Black American Firsts in Film and Theatre (70 person items)"Considered one of the greatest sex symbols from 1970’s, Pam Grier became the face of ‘blaxpoitation’, a genre of action films made by and for black people. Her main successes were Coffy (1973) and Foxy Brown (1974). After 70’s the actress lived a period of obscurity, until being rescued by Quentin Tarantino, who invited her to lead Jackie Brown (1997) — for which she won the Golden Globe. According to Tarantino, Pam Grier is “the first female star of action films.”"
