This pioneering performer, sometimes referred to as American film's first female action hero, starred in a groundbreaking series of films such as "Coffy," "Foxy Brown" and "Sheba, Baby," portraying tough, sexy, three-dimensional characters who held their own in a white- and male-dominated society.
In 1997, she received her long-overdue tribute in Quentin Tarentino's "Jackie Brown," and since has gone on to triumph in numerous roles in film and on television. She will be at the Saturday, Feb. 18 screening of "Jackie Brown" at the International Film Series on the CU campus at 7 p.m. (for full details, see the Miramax press release, reproduced below).
IFS director Pablo Kjolseth hosts the evening, and will elad a Q & A with Ms. Grier following the film. This event will be LIVE-STREAMED via Facebook (facebook.com/miramax and facebook.com/jackiebrownmovie), innovatively allowing viewers to pose real-time questions to Grier during the event.
