Singer and actress Grace Jones was born in Jamaica in 1948 and was
raised there and in Syracuse, New York. At age 17, she left college to
pursue a career in modeling and eventually moved to Paris, France, where
her striking appearance made her a success. In 1977 Jones transitioned
into the music world when she was signed to Island Records. She released
several albums over the next few years, including 1981's Nightclubbing,
before reinventing herself yet again, appearing in several feature
films during the 1980s and '90s, including the James Bond picture A View to a Kill and the comedy Boomerang. Since then, Jones has continued to act, record and perform.
