"long in the tooth" has never had so many meanings

She never was popular. She was cast as a villain in a James Bond movie once and that was all of her "career" I can remember.

She was one of those things where the powers that be kept trying to make her famous but the general public was "wtf is this?"

thats what i dont get. why she was cast in the first place. if the director just wanted to be edgy and have a black bond girl he could have gone with pam grier or angela bassett.

This thread is the equivalent of this guy I knew when I worked for the football team who'd watch ESPN Classic all the damn time and would constantly b*tch about calls made 20 years prior, as if they were in real time.

When TexAgs runs out things to complain about, it will always find something...

She wasn't cast because she was black, she was cast because she was edgy, being black was just a bonus.

I'm glad she became famous solely because it led to a mind-boggling commercial for Citroen.

She was also in one of the Conan movies. I don't remember which one - Destroyer or Barbarian

"A View to a Kill" was the Bond movie

She was a super model from the early 70's then musician then actor.

Fun fact... She is now 71, and according to the image url, the OP likes looking her up on thefappeningblog.com

She made a lot of friends early in her career as an androgynous model and singer, and she used her connections and "unique" behavior/looks to maintain her b-list celebrity.

I never bought or listened to her music, but I still remember this album cover:

She was famous long before being in this terrible Bond movie. She was cast so people would pay attention.

Yeah OP, pretty random question.

I remember two of her songs from the 80s...I'm Not Perfect and her cover of the Police's Demolition Man.

I liked her as Drago's wife in Rocky 4. She married Sylvester Stallone after that.

Funny, Drago (Dolph Lundgren) was her body guard and boyfriend IRL.... then he got a scholarship to MIT... but Jones convinced him to quit, move to NY and take up acting.

She's in the sequel that I watched once and thought "well, that's enough of that" and have not seen since.
