The Big Doll House (1971)
Grier was a fresh-off-the-bus receptionist at an L.A. talent agency when she was “discovered” by Corman and hired to be one of the bad-ass leads in his Philippines-set women-behind-bars flick The Big Doll House. Grier was an unknown when the movie opened, but her raw, feral, and impossibly sexy performance guaranteed that when the end credits rolled, she was a grindhouse star.
