Jesus Christ, Richard Pryor Did Cocaine

By Mark Lorenz on April 29th, 2010

This is like the beginning of a bad open-mic joke. How much cocaine did Richard Pryor do?

Pam Grier was one of the first female action movie stars, if not the first. She paved the way for other low-budget action starlets, big-budget ones, and super-hot simultaneously sassy ones. If there were no Pam Grier, there would be no Matrix. Think about that. She also dated the Hollywood royalty of the 70’s, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Freddie Prinze and Richard Pryor. Richard Pryor was a comedy legend – as much for his hard-partying as he was for his sense of humor.

And he did so much cocaine that a great portion of it lodged itself into Pam Grier’s vagina.

It went right up there. Like a homesick baby made of white pixie-dust. A gigantic, amphetamine-driven tampon. It was so bad that she and Richard Pryor broke up. At least, that’s what she wrote in her memoir, which included a disturbing recall of a time she went to a doctor who told her about an epidemic in Beverly Hills – an epidemic of cocaine being lodged in women’s vaginas.

Of course this has no basis in actual fact. Cocaine can’t get caught in your vagina, and if it did, Amy Winehouse would be leaving a trail like breadcrumbs.

Pam Grier is doing a booksigning of her memoirs at the Barnes and Noble in the Grove in Los Angeles on May 13th. Be there.
