Pam Grier Bio

Golden Globe nominee Pam Grier was discovered by director Jack Hill, who cast her in his women in prison films "The Big Doll House" (1971), and "The Big Bird Cage" (1972). In the early 1970s she became a staple in blaxploitation movies, playing big, bold, assertive women, beginning with Jack Hill's "Coffy" (1973) and was the first African-American female to headline an action film, as protagonists of previous blaxploitation films were males. Grier subsequently played similar characters in "Foxy Brown" (1974), "Friday Foster," and "Sheba, Baby" (both 1975). She acquired progressively larger character roles in the 1980s, including a prostitute in "Fort Apache the Bronx" (1981), a witch in "Something Wicked this Way Comes" (1983), and Steven Seagal's detective partner in "Above the Law" (1988). She made guest appearances on "Miami Vice," "Martin," "Night Court" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, "Sinbad," "Preston Chronicles," "The Cosby Show," "The Wayans Brother Show," "Mad TV" and also had a recurring role in the TV series "Crime Story" between 1986 and 1988. She appeared in Sam Shepard's play "Fool for Love" and won an NAACP Award for Best Actress in a Play. She went on to win Best Actress Awards for "Frankie and Johnnie" and the Claire De Lune, "The Piano Lesson" by August Wilson. In the late 1990s Grier was a cast member of the Showtime series "Linc's." She again appeared in the title role of Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown," a film that partly paid homage to her '70s blaxploitation movies. Between 2004-2009, Pam appears in the Showtime series "The L Word" and recurred in "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Smallville." She played Queen Latifah's mother in the film "Just Wright" and starred in "Larry Crowne," and "Mafia" with Ving Rhames. She is set to film "Man With Iron Fists" directed By RZA and Eli Roth. She also wrote her memoir, "Foxy: My Life in Three Acts" with Andrea Cagan, a New York Times Bestseller. Recently, she performed in an emotionally gripping arc in the NBC hit drama "This is Us." She can also be seen staring opposite Diane Keaton, Jacki Weaver, and Rhea Perlman in the feature film "Poms." Pam is currently starring in the series "Bless This Mess" for ABC also starring Dax Shepard and Lake Bell, premiering this Spring. Pam is represented by TalentWorks and attorneys Brecheen, Feldman, Breimer, Silver & Thompson.
