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
