It’s always fun to see Pam Grier pop up unexpectedly, and this time she has a new series. Pam, of course, made a name for herself in those blaxploitation movies like Coffy and Foxy Brown back in the 70s. In the 80’s she played assorted character roles, but has been working steadily in TV and film through the decades. She’s dated a lot of high profile guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Freddie Prinze, Richard Pryor, Don Cornelius, and Wilt Chamberlain, but she has never married and has no children. A VERY independent woman! Right now she’s promoting her new series for ABC, Bless This Mess. It’s about a city couple (Lake Bell and Dax Shepherd) who move to Nebraska for a peaceful life and don’t find it. Pam was cleverly cast as the local sheriff.

Wilt Chamberlain claimed to sleep with 20,000 women.
“I was just doing what was natural—chasing good-looking ladies, whoever they were and wherever they were.”
Poor Pam, that show Bless This Mess is an unwatchable ‘reboot’ of Green Acres.
On the plus side, she had a fun role in the movie Poms.
