Grace Jones is a Jamaican singer, actress, and model. As I write this, I'm watching a YouTube video of Jones performing Slave to the Rhythm while hula hooping throughout the entire song. Impressive.
She's not actually 6 foot tall, but she's close. A statuesque and androgynous woman, she's created a following through outrageous outfits, live animals on stage performances, and creative personas. Jones got her start as a model, then moved into acting and singing. She appeared in Conan the Destroyer (1984) with Arnold Schwarzenegger and A View to a Kill (James Bond movie #14, 1985), among others. Jones is a source of inspiration for many artists, including Lady Gaga, as well as for some male celebrities.
