Grace Jones was born in Jamaica in May of 1948... yes, she is 61 years old... an American-Jamaican singer, model, and actress considered an icon of the 1980s. Famous for her severe, androgynous look, Grace was a Bond girl, muse to Andy Warhol and her body served as canvas for Keith Haring's tribal patterns on many occasions.
"I deliberately challenged men’s roles. In fact, I survived by taking on both roles." - Grace Jones said in her interview for V Magazine photographed Jean-Paul Gouge. Read the full interview at http://www.vmagazine.com/article.php?n=12587
Her new album "Hurricane" released in 2009 criticizes corporations and the control they have over our lives and specially the art scene. Watch the video bellow, Corporate Cannibal.
And a classic, Grace Jones singing Libertango.
