Grace Jones

She changed her last name, Mendoza, to Jones. Six feet tall, she was a model, then a singer and actress, or actor. She was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica. She was part of the "Studio 54" celebrity crowd. She pushed edginess to the limit, and she seemed to know no boundries. She recorded quite a few albums, but I think "Slave To The Rythm," is her most noted recording here in the US. She was "May Day" in the James Bond "View To A Kill." She also played a part along side now, Governernor of CA, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Wilt Chamberlain (of basketball fame) in "Conan The Destroyer." She has one son, Paulo Goude, French musician, with former husband Jean-Paul Goude, graphic artist, director. There was another marriage, and divorce, but most recently, she is engaged to Ivor Guest, 4th Viscount Wimborne, whom I think is a producer, director, as well. ?? She was once engaged to Dolph Lundgren, but he is, I've read, married to someone else now.
