THE RETURN OF PEPPER SPRAY:
Feminist exploitation at its very best (DOUG ELFMAN, March 12, 2006, Chicago Sun-Times)
Angie Dickinson in "Police Woman" was female liberation in a skirt, breaking down barriers for women on TV, opening doors and blouses.That was how the 1970s worked. Women still didn't wear pants to work. And if there was a heroine cop in a movie or TV show, she had to be the sexy lady who went undercover as a hooker and got rescued by a male.
Such was the role of Dickinson's Pepper Anderson, a quintessential '70s heroine who last week made her debut on DVD ("Police Woman: The Complete First Season," $50, Sony). Pepper sought a job in vice and often had to dress like a prostitute. At least once, she boffed a target she took a liking to.
She got more than a few of us through puberty.
What's wrong with going undercover as prostitute?
