Bond's Bunny Pens New Play About Playboy Club Experience

24 October 2011 1:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Former Bond girl Gloria Hendry is set to see her name in lights as the writer and director of a new play, which will open in Los Angeles at the end of October.

The former Playboy Bunny will debut Glamour Girls at the Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles for three weeks from 28 October.

Hendry played Rosie Carver opposite Roger Moore's 007 in Live and Let Die, becoming the first African American woman to romance Bond.

The new play is based partially on Hendry's experiences as one of the first black women to enter the New York Playboy Club empire, where she worked from 1965 to 1972. »

Five Bond Girls Least Likely to Be Bond Girls

30 September 2011 10:00 AM, PDT | E! Online - UK | See recent E! Online - UK news »

Reports, as yet unconfirmed, have it that Bérénice Marlohe will be your new Bond girl. If you've only now just heard of the French actress, then what else is new? The spy franchise has a long history of going rogue and casting the unknown—if not the unlikely—as the yin to 007's considerable yang.  Meet five other actresses whose Bond casting raised eyebrows: 1. Halle Berry: It's not as if Berry weren't qualified to be a Bond girl. (Exhibit A: The bikini scene.) It's that she seemed overqualified. At the time Berry signed on for Die Another Day, she was an established star who was on her way to an Oscar for Monster's Ball. 2. Gloria Hendry: »

Flashback from 1974 – Watch Sydney kick ass

19 March 2011 7:45 AM, PDT | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »

The scene below is a great example of why I love those blaxploitation films from the 1970′s so much. Those of you born after them can laugh at those weird clothes and think they’re campy, but for me they were everything.

I loved watching strong black men and strong black women doing their thing. What do you have today in movies? Black men in drag, and weak black women in trapped abusive relationships, looking for some God fearing knight in shiny armor to save them. Give me Jim Brown any day, or Gloria Hendry from this scene from 1974′s  Black Belt Jones.

In the scene, Sydney (Hendry) visits a pool hall to find the man who had her father killed, and who has targeted his next of kin as well, not knowing that Sydney is a woman . Oh yes, one more thing; no doubt some of you will be »
