As I just found out that my idol growing up has just passed away. Yes, my first on-screen crush, Tamera Dobson (a.k.a.) CLEOPATRA JONES died at the age of 59.
Back in the day (we're talking about the 70's here), while the my classmates in school were swooning over the likes of the babes from CHARLIE'S ANGELS,
the "brothas" in my neighborhood and in school were swooning over TAMERA DOBSON; she was the total package: tall (we're talking 6'2"), dark, sexy and she could kick the shit out of "THE MAN". And in the days of "Black Power", you couldn't ask for anything better than that. She knew how to handle a gun, mastered Kung-Fu, and did most of her ass-kickin' in either a sexy bikini, or a fur coat and big-assed platform boots. Think of a sexy black version of a female James Bond.
Apparently she passed away at the age of 59, due to complications of pneumonia and multiple sclerosis (read full story HERE). What a shame. She was one beautiful babe. R.I.P., foxy mama!

Wow. She was a little before my time (I was a Jane Kennedy brotha myself), but she was fine.
She will be missed.
