Fierce, long-limbed black singer and occasional actress, a Jamaican-born model who appeared in several Italian films before beginning a music career which specialized in new wave pop and dance music. It was more Jones' image than her musical prowess, however, that brought about her return to motion pictures. With her androgynous persona, trademark square-edged hairdo and attitude of angry hauteur, Jones was a natural for such roles as the exotic Zula in the adventure fantasy "Conan the Destroyer" (1984), the murderous May Day in the James Bond adventure "A View to a Kill" (1985) and the aptly named "Strange" in the lukewarm Eddie Murphy vehicle "Boomerang" (1992).
