A Life of Ups and Downs

Grier has lived a life full of trials and tribulations, ups and downs. Some of those downs include a stage four cervical cancer diagnosis. She was told she had only 18 months to live. However, with aggressive treatment, she was able to make a full recovery and has been in remission since.

The actress currently lives on a ranch in Colorado, according to Wikipedia. Switching to IMDb, it doesn’t appear she has anything planned for the new year, but that could change quickly! Fifty years in the busines, she seems to be active as ever in the film/TV industry.

Living up to a lofty title

Grier is next expected to be seen as part of the cast of the upcoming Pet Sematary prequel, inspired by the scarily creepy work of Stephen King. There have already been two films based on the novel, as well as a radio adaptation in England. The prequel is currently in post-production.

Though the setting will undoubtedly differ greatly, Grier is no stranger to thrills in her movies. Her Jackie Brown was a flight attendantwho needed to become a daring action hero. Of her past project before this, Escape From LA is still talked about today. What are you most excited to hear about from her? What are your favorite Pam Grier films or TV shows?
