Pam Grier's role as the owner of a hardware store in rural Nebraska in the ABC sitcom 'Bless This Mess' isn't a complete departure for her: She lives in rural Colorado and has spent much of her life on ranches. jacarucci

“I commuted to work really for 50 years because I couldn’t have that lifestyle that I wanted of horses and ruralness. It would always be the city, hotels, room service,” said Grier in a recent interview. She credits that mantra for helping her thrive in her 70th year in a life filled with plenty of highs and lows. Grier made her name as the queen of Blaxploitation films in the 1970s with roles in classics like “Coffy” and “Foxy Brown,” but struggled in Hollywood after the genre fell out fashion. She also had tumultuous romances with the likes of Richard Pryor and Freddie Prinze.Grier also was the victim of two sexual assaults — one when she was just 6 years old.
“I always say it’s about time. It takes confidence. It takes other people around you to set an example that you won’t inflame or flame out you - you’ll be OK. And it is tough to talk about it,” she said.” A lot of people haven’t healed yet.”
