A couple of weeks ago, we missed the day of birth of an African American icon in the 1970s: Tamara Dobson.
Dobson stood 6 foot 2 inches tall (Tyra Banks would have died to have her on ANTM), and was, as the vernacular dictated at the time, "bad as a mutha." She broke down racial barriers at Vogue Magazine and had a degree in fashion.
The Maryland native had supermodel looks and acting chops to boot, mostly known as the poster child heroin in the blaxploitation flick "Cleopatra Jones."
Dobson died in 2006 after a bout with pneumonia and multiple sclerosis.
