We are excited to reveal the addition of PAM GRIER to the line-up of HorrorHound Weekend: Columbus, set to take place over the weekend of March 23-25th, 2012 at the Crowne Plaza Columbus North in Columbus Ohio!!!!!
PAM GRIER is recognizable the world over as being the icon of cult, the first female action star, and quite simply ... she is one of the baddest ladies on the planet.
Pam got her start in cinema during the exploitation and blaxploitation days of the 1970s appearing in such films as Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, The Big Doll House, Women in Cages, The Big Bird Cage, Hit Man, Black Mama White Mama and (one of her more iconic roles), in 1973's
Coffy. That same year Pam appeared in the horror film
Scream Blacula Scream, before appearing in (arguably) her finest role of the 1970s -
Foxy Brown. After a handfull of additional films (including The Arena, Bucktown and Drum) Pam jumped back into horror with the classic Disney horror film -
Something Wicked This Way Comes. Additional roles came, including The Vindicator, Above the Law, and
Class of 1999.
After a couple pop culture jaunts in such films as
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey,
Mars Attacks! and
Escape from LA, Pam received one of her greatest starring roles of the past 20 years - Quentin Tarantino's
Jackie Brown. In this writer's humble opinion, Jackie Brown still stands as Tarantino's greatest film – let alone Ms. Grier's.
Recently, Pam can be seen in a handful of movies, ranging from
Ghosts of Mars (alongside Natasha Henstridge), Bones, Fortress 2, In Too Deep, in her 2004-2009 television series – The L Word or more recently as Amanda Waller in Smallville. Pam joins Natasha Henstridge and a number of other women of cinema to help celebrate the first HorrorHound Weekend event in Columbus, Ohio – and our tribute to Women in Horror.
