The 74-year-old actress, who is best known for her classic roles in the 1970s blaxploitation films ‘Foxy Brown‘ and ‘Coffy,’ made an appearance on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen‘ on Wednesday evening (April 17). During her interview, Grier told fans all about her new movie and how she has been learning to pole dance from one of Hip-Hop’s baddest exotic dancer-turned-rapper, Cardi B.
Speaking on her new film, Grier told late-night host Andy Cohen that she wrote a new movie script for herself and Cardi B back in 2022. Although the movie has not been picked up yet, Grier did reveal some interesting details and also mentioned that she hopes the exciting film will be released before she finishes the biopic series she is working on about her life.
During the interview, a fan appearing on-screen asked the actress about the release date and more details about her film. Grier responded to the fan question, “I’m doing, presently, my biopic as a series, [so,] as soon as I finish that… I really wanted to work with her. And it could be in maybe two years at the theater ‘cause I’m now learning how to pole dance, and it’s taking a minute.”
The actress, who portrayed a badass who kicked butt in her iconic 1970s roles, admitted that she’s had a bit of a tough time trying to master the pole, noting it’s been a tricky skill to master. Pam Grier added, “But, it’s a lot of fun. [The film has] a wonderful story, I don’t want to give it away. But, it’s perfect for [Cardi B] because she’s a great mom.

Andy Cohen then questioned Pam Grier about the movie’s synopsis, “Pole-dancing mom with a heart of gold?” Grier smiled and quipped, “I’m the pole dancer and she teaches me.” At the moment, the title of Grier’s new film for her and Cardi has not yet been revealed, but maybe it will provide a second opportunity for Bardi to show off her pole dancing skills as she didn’t quite get to do so in 2019’s ‘Hustlers‘ film.
The critically acclaimed drama starred main characters Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu, with brief roles for Cardi, Lizzo, Keke Palmer, and Usher. When the film dropped, Cardi told Entertainment Tonight, “I was really mad because when I did the movie, I just got my t*tties done and I got lipo, right? So, I was like, ‘This is my moment to shine’ and I can’t shine cause I can’t climb! I was mad. Everybody thinks it’s so easy to do. No, it ain’t. You can’t do it at home.”
