Hell yes! Pam Grier as Foxy Brown rocking the one-piece jumpsuit circa 1974. Grier is the queen of 70s blaxploitation films - and known for such movies as The Big Bird Cage, Coffy, Sheba Baby, and in more recent years, Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown - which she received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.

Grier was discovered by director Jack Hill - who cast her in the 1971 women-in-prison film, The Big Doll House. In the movie ads for the movie Coffy - Grier's character was trumpeted as the: "baddest one-chick hit-squad that ever hit town!"

If that's not a feat to new heights, Grier also dated basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
