"Well, the future better be ready for me... cause I'm Foxxy Cleopatra, and I'm a whole lot of woman!!! " -Foxxy Cleopatra (1975)
Foxy in the Mid 70's.
In "Austin Powers in Goldmember".
FOXXY
A former female employee of Goldmember decided to go to the future with Austin in order to help defeat him.
The bodacious character of Foxxy is a comical amalgam of the African-American female sex symbols from the early to mid 1970's.
A mixture of "Blaxploitation" "Motown" or "Soul Cinema" motion pictures and productions. Especially those featuring Pam Grier. The name itself is certainly based on Grier's "Foxy Brown." Another source is "Cleopatra Jones" played by Tamara Dobson. Other elements of Foxxy's character are taken from Grier's characters in the films Coffy and Friday Foster. Teresa Graves' performance in the short-lived crime drama Get Christie Love! Are all combinations of the Foxxy portrayed by now Legendary singer Beyonce Knowles at the time of her portrayal she was better known as being the lead focal point singer in the successful 90's girl group "Destiny's Child".
Also, the characrer of Foxy might also be an inspiration, but all of the vixens of the Soul music and Disco era might be considered formulaic, being morphed all into one for the movie.
