Rest In Peace Tamara Dobson (aka Cleopatra Jones)
Hey folks. Quint here. Tamara Dobson was a very popular actress during the big blaxploitation craze of the '70s. She didn't make quite as big a splash, or quite as many films, as someone like Pam Grier, but she found herself as the leading lady in the running CLEOPATRA JONES series. The first film she fought back against an evil drug lord Shelley Winters and the second, CLEOPATRA JONES AND THE CASINO OF GOLD, she has to beat down Stella Stevens' lesbian underground leader, The Dragon Lady.
While she didn't appear in many films, she did show up again in the obscure Redd Foxx comedy, NORMAN, IS THAT YOU? and the WIP exploitation classic CHAINED HEAT. Sci-Fi fans might recognize her from a guest appearance she made on BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY.
She died at the young age of 59 of complications from pneumonia and multiple sclerosis on Monday. My thoughts go out to her friends, family and fans.
