Tamara Dobson, was a very beautiful and talented woman, she was one of my favorite actresses from the 70's movies. I read about her several years ago that she had died was saddened to hear she died young. May she rest in eternal peace 💞

Sad ending for such a beautiful sister. We never know where this life is going to take us. That's why it's so important to be humble. Hollywood can be a very cruel business, and industry. She will always be remembered thru film, which is more than most of us can say. RIP Tamara Dobson.

There has been talk in Hollywood for the last 20 to 25 years of a remake of CLEOPATRA JONES. The late singer Whitney Houston voiced she would have love to have the role but nothing came of it, and a few years afterward JLo expressed she wanted the role, but as of resent years Warner bros have placed the idea back on the table, but yet nothing has come of it, neither. If all the particulars are worked out I hope the studio sticks to the original story line and Plots. We’ve all seen what happened with the remake of Sparkle👎🏼 but there’s always a precursor on remakes for black movies that are set to be doomed, maybe the studios should just let sleeping dogs lie- as my grandmother used to say and just keep the memory of cleopatra jones alive in our hearts. Beside where would they find another Tamara Dobson🤷♀️

She was also a model in come back Charleston Blue and I loved both movies the makeup was what models were wearing back in the '70s as well as regular women the make up for the 60s, and 70s, the era was awful I also loved her wardrobe it was just showing how they did it back then remember she was a model and she was doing her thang and she did it well, the wardrobe could have been better but as Tamara wore it you didn't pay that much attention to the bad stylings of the movie because she out shined what they tried to do I completely enjoyed the second one gone to soon RIP

My oldest sister seen this movie with my cousin she was amazed so that very day she came home and told the family about it so we decided to go to the drive-in and see for ourselves. At that time I never seen a" real " action pack movie( pre- Stallone and Schwarzenegger) until I saw CJ, the movie was AWESOME and was the first movie I did not fall asleep being five years old and way past my bedtime, it totally kept my attention from the beginning to the end. And also it was way way before this girl power thing was it the thing. Rest in power Tamara Dobson.

Uhm no, but she was mistaken as Christie love and in the matter of fact that TV pilot and show was a total rip-off of CJ and wasn't too bad but not too good either. Quentin Tarantino stress that in the movie "Reservoir Dogs" where they were correct each other about who played who back and they even mistaken Pamela Grier as Tamara Dobson. Strange Pamela Grier stayed on top for a long time but Pamela didn't.

RIP Tamara Dobson! Go to IMDB to look at all of the roles that she played. Keep her memory alive by watching her films and TV roles and spread the word about her. Actually, in my opinion, Pam Grier should really be designated as the first Black female action star. She started making movies back in the late 1960's and was a huge star already when Cleopatra Jones came out. Her successes paved the way for Cleopatra Jones to be made. However, Pam Grier's image back then has always made me uneasy as a Black woman, because she was always? naked in those action movies. I like her kickass attitude, but despise how she was fetishized. Dobson proved that you could be kickass and still be classy and sassy.

Ms Barnett.. These two Icons of Black Cinema where what most people dont know.. FRIENDS..SOUL SISTERS who helped each other maneuver in an industry that was unforgiving to Women period .. Sexialized or Objectified.. they did the damn thing and made worldwide headlines and cinema history in spite of being pityed against each other or many other actresses at the time. Who could tell the story even better although she documented it in her autobiography. IS The Foxy One herself.. Ms PAM GRIER!!! She has memories that are older than most of us.. Could tell the public a thing or three ab Life and the Industry and Im sure her departed friends Tamara Dobson Minnie Riperton Richard Pryor and Freddie Prinze.. Doing these mini bios .. NEED alot more research than some of these people are willing to invest time into.. A Special Time and Genre for All that Celebrate Black Cinema. RIP Cleopatera Jones./ Ms Dobson!!!💛🙏🔥👊💥✊
