RIP Tamara Dobson

Raise a glass to Tamara Dobson, star of Cleopatra Jones, who died on Monday from complications arising from MS and pneumonia. Although CJ is a slicker, Hollywoodized version of Pam Grier's action movies, it's nonetheless entertaining as hell, and Dobson is a stone fox in it. I always thought she should be a big drag queen icon, with her dazzling array of costumes.

Also, an excellent interview with Terry Gilliam at CHUD.
