Nice Trailer,

Btw Les, Fred Williamson was one of my father's(RIP) favorite Black American actors, I was 6-7 years old remembering dad watching these Blaxploitation movies. Since he couldn't see Gnawa ppl, his own ppl featured on the Moroccan movies, he was so glad and proud to see some "strange" English speaking Blacks appearing on the movie screens back in the 70s. I remember seeing a smile on his face when he would watch Shaft movies. LOL!!

Even to this day, you would rarely, very rarely see a Gnawa man acting in a Moroccan movie. Oooopss, somebody's going to call me a genocide supporter!!

Well, in this context I can roll with the n-word, otherwise I despise it!

LOL...I met Fred Williamson a while ago(around the time of those movies!) in St.Thomas. He was vacationing there.
We updated his room to the best suite in the hotel 😊
He looked pretty much as his movie images - well built, well shaved with the moustache - obviously someone who took care of himself!

He spoke with us as if it was no big deal!
Haha, I pulled a dollar bill out of my wallet and asked him to sign it for me. He looked at me, smiled, and while signing it, asked: "you sure you're not gonna spend it?" I told him i'd never spend it.
That dollar bill remains in one of my albums!

The next night, I saw Fred Williamson saying goodbye to one of our former Carnival Queen contestants in the lobby of the hotel. I'm pretty sure she had a good time. Every time we ran into each other we'd knowingly smile; she was gorgeous and sexy as hell! Lawwwwd


About a month afterwards, actor Telly Savalas was a guest in that same suite. I remember him being drunk as a skunk most of the time. I swear. lol
