Grace JonesGrace Jones (May 19, 1948) born Grace Mendoza, in Spanish Town, Kingston, Jamaica is a model, singer and actress. Jones is known for her post-modern costuming and performance, at which she dressed in men's clothing, S&M outfits, and gorilla suits. She gained a reputation for temperament after she physically attacked British chat show host, Russell Harty, because he turned his back on her to speak to another guest. Starting in the late 1970's, she became Andy Warhol's muse, appearing in many of his portraits and accompanying him to Studio 54 on many occasions. Musically, she began singing disco, then moved on into quirky pop and reggae, featuring big names in Jamaican music on albums such as Nightclubbing. Later, she recorded hip-hop flavored dance music. She was a Bond girl in A View to a Kill, a 1985 movie in the James Bond series of films. She later had a role in the 1992 Eddie Murphy film Boomerang. In 1986 she was a vampire in the film Vamp. Earlier in her acting career, she starred alongside future governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger and NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain in 1984's Conan the Destroyer. She appeared in the September 1987 issue of Playboy magazine with Dolph Lundgren. Discography Filmography External links Jones, Grace Jones, Grace Jones, Grace Jones, Grace
