Whether you liked the genre of movies she was in or not, they were still ingrained in pop culture.

Damn, for a second there I thought it was Pam Grier. Anyway, RIP Tamara.

Black celebrities belong on BET or UPN, so that we have the option of not watching them.

Just kidding. I loved her films. She remains an icon and a role model for young black women to this day.

I've decided that I want black in me because of her.

Those were fun movies to watch...she was an impressive lady.

Anyway, she was "ten miles of bad road" for every hood in town.

As corny as they were, they were still better than the female superhero "grrl power" garbage we get today.

Man,MS sucks.
She wasn't that old.
Great contribution to a bad ass genre.

Oh man, she was only 59. Haven't seen of any her movies, but still she was too young to go. R.I.P.
