Round 8: Tossup 5

This actress sang “99 years is a long, long time” on the song “Long Time Woman” for her first film with director Jack Hill. A song Roy Ayers wrote for a film starring this actress plays over the montage of Luis’s stories in Ant-Man and a shot from another film in which the camera swivels around her exclaiming “Ray, come out, wherever you are!” in a mall lobby. A 1997 film ends with a close-up on this actress driving while lip-syncing the lyrics “pushers won’t let the junkie go free.” The camera tracks this actress standing on a moving walkway in an opening shot set to Bobby Womack’s song (*) “Across 110th Street” that references The Graduate. (10[1])In that film, this actress’s character introduces The Delfonics to a bail bondsman. In an adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel about a cash-smuggling flight attendant, a director added references (10[1])to this actress’s roles as women named Coffy and Foxy. For 10 points, Quentin Tarantino cast what blaxploitation icon as Jackie Brown? ■END■
