Bad Girls We Love: Regina “Reggie” Holland in Silk Stalkings

In which actress (and total smoke show) Carol Huston steals our hearts in a memorably sexy guest spot on a beloved nineties television series.

From the Vault: Coffy

This review of the Pam Grier Blaxploitation classic Coffy first appeared six years ago in slightly different form at my old blog. "She's the Godmother of them all ... the baddest one-chick hit squad that ever hit town!" "They call her Coffy and she'll cream you!"
