FILMOGRAPHY

Pam Grier, sometimes also credited as Pamela Grier, has had a long and distinguished career in film and on television.  Below you will find a list of the films and television shows that Pam has appeared in, starting in 1970, and working up to the new Showtime series in which she will have a regular role.  The new show is "THE L WORD" and you can find a link to the official Showtime L Word page along with links to the unofficial L Word website.  Both of these sites are wonderful for keeping people up to the minute on what is happening with The L Word.  As I get things updated on the site, I am hoping to have a brief synopsis of the films listed below and links to where they can be purchased.  Not all of these titles may be available for purchase at any given time.  Check back regularly since I will try to update this page as often as necessary as Pam's work continues.  All films where Ms. Grier is credited as Pamela Grier have been noted.  Whenever possible, alternative titles to these movies are shown.  If you notice any errors or if there are films not credited here, please send me an email so that I can update the list.
