Imprint Entertainment has recently put the film rights to Grier’s autobiography Foxy, My Life in Three Acts into play.
The biopic will be Pam Grier’s account of her life, past and present. It will go into her spicy relationships with legendary comedian Richard Pryor, basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Freddie Prinze Sr. The film will also dabble into the nights that she hung out with John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, and Peter Lawford. On a more sad note, the movie will even go into her ongoing battle with cancer.
“Foxy succeeds as a stark impression of Grier’s courage and inner strength without the use of rose-colored glasses. Imprint Entertainment looks forward to bringing this triumphant story to life,” says Becker.
Pamela Suzette “Pam” Grier (born May 26, 1949) is an American actress. She became famous in the early 1970s, after starring in a string of moderately successful women in prison and blaxploitation films such as 1974’s Foxy Brown. Her career was revitalized in 1997 after her appearance in Quentin Tarantino’s film Jackie Brown. She received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. She has also been nominated for a SAG as well as a Satellite Award for her performance in the iconic film Jackie Brown. She received an Emmy Award nomination for her work in an Animated Program Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child. Rotten Tomatoes has ranked her as the second Greatest Female Action Heroine in film history. Director Quentin Tarantino remarked that she may have been cinema’s first female action star (Wiki).
Eunetta Boone will write the adaption, which has Halle Berry attached to star. Imprint Entertainment’s Michael Becker will produce alongside Bennie Richburg and Alfred Sapse.
