Friday Foster is a 1975 American blaxploitation film written and directed by Arthur Marks and starring Pam Grier in the title role. Yaphet Kotto, Eartha Kitt, Scatman Crothers and Carl Weathers co-starred. It is an adaptation of the 1970-74 eponymous syndicated newspaper comic strip, scripted by Jim Lawrence and illustrated by Jorge Longarón and Gray Morrow. This was Grier's final film with American International Pictures. The tagline on the film's poster is "Wham! Bam! Here comes Pam!" Wikipedia

"At Los Angeles airport, magazine photographer Friday Foster witnesses an assassination attempt against billionaire Blake Tarr and is drawn into a murky political conspiracy." IMDB.

"Friday Foster is based on a Chicago Tribune Syndicate comic strip of the same name that ran from 18 Jan 1970 until late 1974. James Lawrence wrote the strip and the original illustrator was Jorge Longaron, later followed by Dick Giordano....the only nationally syndicated comic strip to feature an African American female protagonist at the time." http://catalog.afi.com/Catalog/MovieDetails/55223
