Pam Grier is one of those figures who inspires the question: To be a great movie actress, must one be a great thespian?

I don’t think anyone would argue that Pam is a natural choice for Shakespeare or Chekhov. Yet her vitality, form, and presence cause her to mean more in movie terms than all the perfect line readings of a thousand Meryl Streeps. The most indelible movie actors — Cary Grant, Greta Garbo, John Wayne — don’t merely act; they give form to our deepest fantasies. Sometimes these fantasies are mysterious even to us: We aren’t aware of them until we’re presented with them, and rise up to meet them. Does this mean that an actress like Pam is reducible to the qualities of a fetish? Perhaps. But show me a man who scoffs at the power of fetishes, and I’ll show you a man not worth taking seriously.

Another thing about Pam: She has great tits.

Nudity below. And some mighty appealing non-nudity, too. Have a great weekend.
