Gloria Hendry

Gloria Hendry strikes me as a genuine trailblazer whose significance outsizes her filmography. Born in Winter Haven, Florida, she made history as one of the first Black women to play a Bond girl, as Rosie Carver in 1973's Live and Let Die, and brought real presence to blaxploitation landmarks like Black Caesar. What I admire is the nerve it took to stand center-screen in an era stacked against her. The glamour of a former model is there, but underneath it is the steel of someone walking a path that hadn't been cleared. For lovers of 1970s cinema, she's an essential name.
