Blaxploitation Icon: The Life and Legacy of Tamara Dobson

[@theCultureExplained]

What actor or Actress should we cover next?

[@trackzero0]

What a beauty and talent! Guaranteed, she’s still soaring!

[@stacistaci6657]

Cleopatra Jones is my favorite Blaxploitation film!

[@theCultureExplained]

It may be mine too!

[@blockmasterscott]

I had a crush on her as a little boy, never could choose between her and Raquel Welch!

[@dawusmith1052]

I knew she she was but I didn't know much. Very beautiful and talented.

[@theCultureExplained]

Gone too soon man, she had so much potential. It's crazy that she still holds the record for being the tallest female lead in a movie to this day!

[@bubbivideo]

What a beautiful Soul

[@theCultureExplained]

Yes she was

[@cheryljenkins6029]

One of the beauty icon of black actresses ❤❤

[@alexandradillard2077]

Thank you 🙏🏾! There isn’t enough on this talented actress. As far height goes, before there was Phyllis Hyman, there was Tamara Dobson.

[@theCultureExplained]

🙏🏾

[@lanaofficiel4042]

Both ladies were so beautiful. May they both Rest in Peace 🕊️.

She was THE first blk woman in media who I adored as a child! 🌹

[@theCultureExplained]

Wish I could have grown up with her, she was an icon!

[@jackieclark2004]

II loved Tamers. But I noticed different women are shown that are not Tamera🤷🏽‍♀️

[@theCultureExplained]

Unfortunate mistake of trying to rush and get these videos out. I'm Working on quality control!

[@douglasbrown1194]

Saw he once in NYC at a health store I used to work at in 1975, very tall and beautiful woman, but I didn't not bother her.

[@theCultureExplained]

I would have loved to see this woman in person, she had such a presence on screen.

[@John-r8g6f]

The second photo that was shown was Pam Grier not Tamara. That mistake undermines the credibility of anything else in the video.

[@Bejewelle88]

There was also a photo of Marsha Hunt later on, but otherwise enjoyed this homage

[@theCultureExplained]

Oops, but thank you for watching!

[@charleshall9488]

I got to reorder Cleopatra Jones.

[@theCultureExplained]

I'm using a free trial of Brown Sugar to catch up on these classics.

[@calebedwards3266]

Cleopatra Jones 😌♥️✨️

[@theCultureExplained]

Yup! 😍👍🏾

[@explainedopedia]

excellent

[@theCultureExplained]

Many many thanks, to you and Tamara Dobson

[@MswBmf]

I can dig it

[@theCultureExplained]

Me too

[@theorderofthebees7308]

If they do a film on her life . Janelle Monae should play her.

[@theCultureExplained]

Look wise, That's actually a good idea, but they'd have to figure out a work around for the height difference.

[@TheContentBebop]

wow

[@theCultureExplained]

Yes

[@bozoclown2098]

A woman in Brooklyn looks like her

[@theCultureExplained]

I'm sure she's gorgeous

[@cleopatrajones1079]

Hope the host learns to pronounce TAM-a-RA property!🙄

TAM-a-RA, now please subscribe!

[@pekkaollila8505]

She was beautiful but handfull of b-movies hardly makes her a "Hollywood legend".
