Timeline
Sister of Noel Jones, subject of Sophie Fiennes' 2002 documentary, Hoover Street Revival (2002).
Shocked audience members in 1998 when she exposed her breasts during a Disney World performance. She was banned from the park.
In her autobiography, states she was never married to music producer Christopher "Chris" Stanley (who produced her 1989 album "Bulletproof Heart"), although they were in a relationship for a few years, between 1989 and 1991. She has only married once on 24 February 1996, to Atila Altaunbay, a Turkish Muslim, born in 1976, when he was only 20 years old, making him 28 years younger than her, and although they separated after a few years in 2004, they are still legally married.
Says in her autobiography that Tony Scott wanted her badly for the small role of Cory in The Last Boy Scout (1991), but the producers opposed to it and cast Halle Berry instead.
Attended the 1986 wedding of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver on Cape Cod with Andy Warhol.
Lived with Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren for four years, who appeared with her in the Bond film A View to a Kill (1985), though contrary to popular rumor they were never engaged. He was also once her bodyguard.
It wasn't until the the '80s that Jones' on-screen career really soared, when she appeared in three supporting roles: Zula, the amazonian warrior in the American sword and sorcery/adventure film Conan the Destroyer (1984); May Day, the secondary antagonist in the 14th James Bond film A View to a Kill (1985); and Katrina, a bloodthirsty Egyptian vampire queen in the comedy horror Vamp (1986). Leaving audiences with only the resonance of unique and tantalizing movie performances, Jones hasn't acted in a feature film since the '90s. In recent years, Jones's primary focus is sharing the vulnerability behind her larger-than-life persona.
Turned down the role of Zhora in Blade Runner: The Director's Cut (1982), a decision she later regretted.
From a relationship with Jean-Paul Goude she has a son, Paulo (b. 12 November 1979), and a paternal granddaughter.

"Disillusioned with modeling, and since she always wanted to be an actress, she began her movie career playing small parts, her first being in the blaxploitation flick Gordon's War (1973) followed by an uncomfortable cameo in the unwatchable French sex comedy Attention les yeux! (1976).
Grace Jones was born on May 19, 1948 in Spanish Town, St Catherine, Jamaica to Marjorie Jones (née Williams) and Reverend Robert W. Jones. When she was 12 she moved to Syracuse, New York, joining her family who had already moved there.

Jones later moved to New York City and signed on as a model with Wilhelmina Models, but when her looks weren't successfully received, she moved to Paris, France, where her androgynous, bold, dark-skinned appearance was so highly visible, she began to model for Yves Saint-Laurent, Claude Montana, Kenzo Takada, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Hans Feurer, and Azzedine Alaïa, and she appeared on the covers of "Elle", "Vogue", and "Der Stern.
