Her voice, face, body everything about her was just lovely!

[@TheRamsberg]

Pam Grier's performance in 'Jackie Brown' was staggering. It forever altered my perception of what an actor could convey, and how they could convey it. More specifically, the boldness of her nuance in such a broadly directed film, was profound, and brave.

[@eggymayo3271]

And she was as stunning as ever

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

Her speech to Max about having to start over is the most haunting speech I've ever heard.

[@TheRamsberg]

Yes, that goes for me too! I have a distinct teenage memory of that scene playing in an old dingy theater when it came out. Her performance showed me what conveying profundity via acting is all about. @@YolandaAnneBrown95726

Kung Fu movies. Angela Mao! My dream would be Ms. Grier, Angela Mao, and Uma Thurman in the same film. Y'all must check Angela Mao out. I recommend Hapkido and Sting of The Dragon masters.

Justin Hartley who played Fox Crane on _Passions_ from 2004 to 2008... I think sounds just like Conan especially when he acts.

She’s lovely. Inside and out.

[@Jim-c2i]

A person could argue at which time did she look the best. As a connoisseur of fine looking women, I thought she looked great in a Miami Vice episode, "Rites of Passage" 1985. She is one of my all time favorites!!
