That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in ①⑨⑦0 as an extra in Russ Meyer&#③⑨;s big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for 嗄iP&#③⑨;s rival company, Roger Corman&#③⑨;s New World Pictures. 嗄longside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages. In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The &#③⑨;New Fish&#③⑨; (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called 嗄labama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. 嗄 competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
