...DIED. Tamara Dobson, 59, Amazonian model-actress who created one of the blaxploitation genre's most memorable women-the Corvette-driving, martial-arts-loving title character in the film Cleopatra Jones; of complications from pneumonia and multiple sclerosis; in Baltimore, Md. With her flashy style-huge Afro, big hats, leather-trimmed fur coats-Cleopatra was, in the words of the drug traffickers she battled, "10 miles of bad road."
