Vonetta McGee Movies
Gifted African American actress
Vonetta McGee made her movie bow in the 1968 Italian film Il Grand Silencio. After playing roles in a few "blaxploitation" flicks, McGee and her significant other
Max Julien produced and co-starred in
Thomasine and Bushrod (1974), a critically applauded black variation on the "Bonnie and Clyde" legend. She went on to appear with
Bernie Casey in another intensely personal effort,
Brothers (1977), in which she played activist Angela Davis. In 1975, McGee was selected as
Clint Eastwood's leading lady in
The Eiger Sanction. On television, Vonetta McGee co-starred with
Robert Blake in the weekly series Hell Town (1985) and with
Jimmie Walker in the syndicated sitcom
Bustin' Loose (1987). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
