There are feminine looking men and masculine looking women... It's so unfair for people like you to purposefully say things like that about a woman that isn't trans. Didn't your mother teach you to respect women? So cruel💔
I’m overwhelmed with joy every time I watch her interviews and her performances. You are our national treasure dear Grace and we love you! Thank you for entertaining the world.
I was at Grace's Mother Marjorie Jones home going. It was unbelievable. The family got up and spoke, there was many tears and laughter. God Bless the family...
Grace Jones is a true Woman Warrior! I have taken so much from her life path, to believe in yourself and not to give up no matter what. I always love the way Grace dresses herself!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
When I was coming up I bought into the propaganda that Grace Jones was this weird scary, eccentric aggressive avant-garde fashion model. I’m so angry that I’m just now becoming enlightened and having the the privilege of appreciating this marvelous woman.
You can’t be those things in our society while possessing black skin on top of it. Lady Gaga came out with the same eccentric package and was praised for her boldness
In fairness it wasnt propaganda. She just was a tad aggressive and volatile. Dolph Lundgren(her bf back in the day) just recently told a story of where a film producer rang him and asked him if he could help get Grace to the set. She was 5hrs late & at home armed with a gun. Dolph had to go there and get the gun off her, take the bullets away and then get her to go to work. And he said there were "lots of stories like that". That doesnt mean she isnt a marvelous woman too but its untrue to say the stories about her being volatile aggro were simply propaganda altho they were probably exaggerated.
As long as you never believed she was ever ugly that's all that matters, because people really tried her She will forever be my first choice to play Storm from the X-Men
@@krypton7807 nonsense. The 80s was a era of decadence and over the top personas. Androgynous men, bolder women entering corporate America, etc. Just like Josephine Baker before her, her black skin played a role in her marginalized outlook. You can’t be bold and black without scrutiny.
Thinking back on my childhood it was an insult when some called a girl Grace Jones because we were indoctrinated to think of black as ugly. We were infatuated with the lighter skinned girls and talked bad about the darker skin girls but now as an adult I see all black women as beautiful and Ms. Jones is still as beautiful now as she was back then.
She still is so beautiful!! I remember when I was little, seeing her in the Conan movie. I thought she was such a beautiful woman. Her cheekbones, her full lips, her white teeth, her absolutely gorgeous dark skin, and beautiful athletic body!! And her a Dolph Lundgren were such an unusual, but beautifully exotic couple in the day!! She was such ahead of her time.
Fantastic interview - brilliant questions & responses. Christiane Amanpour -- I also love you! I just love how Grace Jones openly adores brilliant women.
LOVE Grace Jones! Here she is speaking in her "natural" slightly Jamaican tone that she grew up with. But in any given interview she can also do American accents or speak the "queen's English" and is always as articulate (or more) than her interviewer; but of course 10 times more entertaining. And I believe every word of her story.
Gary White don't you know that Grace Jones is nearly 70 and still takes the catwalk with 18 year olds. Speaks 7 languages, every mankini you see in the shops. Man and woman are modelled on her. Quite simply she won't age at All!🙄🤔
2:50 With no transition and interrupting the end of the answer switching from using a traumatic memory to 'tell us something fun' . I swear those journalists have no souls
Grace Jones was really powerful in her beliefs and performance 🎭! She had her own style!! Her eyes told a story whenever she 🎵 song 🎶 She has beautiful Black Skin!!!😘😘
Big respect to Grace for her strength and self respect. I wonder how many would just go along with it to further their career, given the same set of circumstances.
That wasnt the movie or the producer. It was Cotton comes to Harlem and the producer was Samuel Goldwyn Jr. She was around 20 or 21. She threw a drink in his face and walked out. The next day he sent her flowers. I don't think she wanted to work with him after that because I don't see anywhere where she had a part in that movie. Having said that I didnt read the ending credits. So idk...
Unfortunately, most people - whether you're a performer or an office worker, - are not the size and personality of a Grace Jones, nor are most situations of power as clear cut as the producer hinting or demanding sex. A lot of it is through "HR" or "within the law". So, while I applaud GC for standing up for herself in that situation, for most other people it is not that simple.
They have great chemistry! I watched an interview of her from 1984 I believe and the guy interviewing her had some really absolutely rude and uncomfortable questions. You could tell she was getting passive aggressive because of how uncomfortable he was making her. She seems so comfortable here.
Japanese girls who experienced sexual harrassment in history can't do the same power like this of defending themselves because of their culture upbringing.
Grace done so many interviews for me this is her best . Congratulations Grand mother Grace Jones and she is a girl . Can only imagine having Grace Jones as Grandma how great.
despite her rebellion from her strict up bringing its what gave her the smarts and bravery to navigate that shitshow. true creative. carving her own path everyday in every way.
