Pam Grier is known for Blaxpoloitation hits, such as 1974’s “Foxy Brown,” as well as “Coffy” (1973) and “Friday Foster” (1975). She later became a muse for director Quentin Tarantino.
turned down Bond – James BondThe"Foxy Brown" star said she was up for the titular Bond girl role in the 1983 film"Octopussy," which starred Roger Moore as 007. However, she had other plans in mind.
"They looked at me and said, ‘Well, why are you here?’" she recalled."I go, ‘I don’t know. My agent told me to come meet.’"Grier said she left the film producers shaken, not stirred, because she was eager to play characters who were beyond eye candy. "I just felt to be a Bond girl would be: ‘What am I going to do?’" Grier explained."Am I going to help rescue him? Is he rescuing me? A Bond girl is an afterthought, a CliffsNote, perhaps. I asked, 'Am I challenging Bond? Am I out to kill him? Will I kill him before he kills me?' They hadn't thought of that. I gave them other ideas, which were much more profound and interesting than what they were doing.
"Oh, they remember my nipples," Grier chuckled about her racy scenes in the film."But I can see what they’re saying. Here you have a sister, a beautiful woman, expressing her sexuality and intelligence. Why should we judge and politicize that? It opened a dialogue about where women want to go. I didn’t know it would be analyzed as much. But I was moved by it. And when I did that film, I wasn’t sure I was going to continue making films.
