Standing 6'2", sleek and sexy actress Tamara Dobson is best remembered by fans of blaxploitation films for playing no-nonsense narcotics agent Cleopatra Jones, a mistress of the martial arts who drove a bad ass black Corvette in Cleopatra Jones (1973) and Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold (1975). Before entering films, Dobson was a model. Though at the time, she generated a lot of press attention and developed a substantial cult following (most fans were male), her career was basically over when the genre's popularity played out by the late '70s. Dobson showed up again in films in the 1983 women-in-prison film Chained Heat which starred Linda Blair. In 1984, Dobson appeared in the made-for-television adventure Amazons. by Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
