It's getting late in the Month of Black History. I'd like to present this drawing of Tamara Dobson as Cleopatra Jones. This era in the film industry was a time of discovery, lots of social emotion, and a need to let go of the old ways. Tamara Dobson is gone, now, but I think she should be remembered. P.S. Those Afro's were hell to maintain when there is that much hair!

Fine work, and yes, "they were hard to maintain"...
