Star of "Jackie Brown," and so many great 70's films where she kicked ass and took names, actress Pam Grier has apparently tread into TMI (too much information) land by sharing that a coked-up Richard Pryor left a cocaine residue trail in her lady parts.

In her memoir, excerpted by Jezebel.com, actress Pam Grier says she and Richard Pryor were an item for awhile, and his cocaine use showed up in his deposited ejaculate that left a cocaine residue so strong her doctor broke the news to her.

Here's how Grier writes this scandalous medical superfreakiness:

He said, "Pam, I want to tell you about an epidemic that's prevalent in Beverly Hills right now. It's a buildup of cocaine residue around the cervix and in the vagina. You have it. Are you doing drugs?"

    "No," I said, astonished.

    "Well, it's really dangerous," he went on. "Is your partner putting cocaine on his penis to sustain his erection?"

    "No," I said, "not that I know of. It's not like he has a pile of cocaine next to the bed and he dips his penis in it before we have sex." I had a nauseating flash of one of Richard's famous lines: Even my dick has a cocaine jones.

    "Are you sure he isn't doing it in the bathroom before he comes to bed?" the doctor asked.

    "That's a possibility," I said. "You know, I am dating Richard Pryor."

    "Oh, my God," he said. "We have a serious problem here. If he's not putting it on his skin directly, then it's worse because the coke is in his seminal fluid."

The memoir gets better.

Grier writes that the doctor then asks her if her mouth went numb while performing oral sex on Pryor, which she says it did.
