Pam Grier, Coffy
The beautiful Pam Grier portrayed Coffy in the 1973 film of the same name. Coffy is a bold and badass nurse who is forced to take justice into her own hands. She goes up against inner-city drug dealers after her sister becomes their latest victim.
As is the case with all of the roles Pam Grier brought to life, she does so perfectly and powerfully. This lady was playing superheroes long before Iron Man and Wonder Woman took over theaters!
