Pam Grier has just released her autobiography and I'm really hoping it comes out on audio so I can listen to it at work. She was on the Leonard Lopate show the other day and totally sold me on the book.
My favorite quote from the interview :
"I treated these wet t-shirt roles seriously, as if it was Chekhov".
Unconscious and Irrational is named for the media's common presentation of girls and women as being either "out of control" or simply "passed out". In movies there aren't many female roles that won't show the girl either passing out, being knocked unconscious, or going totally crazy (usually with a car, credit car, or depressed dude).
On this blog I want to show the zillions of other things we do - whether it be music, art, comedy, or politics. I aim to provide you with a variety of gals to look up to- from Romy and Michele to Shirley Chisholm and Bella Abzug.
