Legendary actress Pam Grier recently chatted about her role in the Showtime series, The L Word, and how the show was a catalyst to LGBT activism.

Here’s some of what she had to say to SheWired.com:

“Small acts, multiplied by millions, can transform the world.”

[I]f The L Word in relative terms was a small act, look at the millions of people it reached. It’s playing in 20 some countries. I get emails from Finland, Brazil, from gay women who love The L Word…

I’ve met so many incredible people who are my friends for life. And they still can’t adopt children, and they still can’t get insurance, and they still can’t buy a home comfortably, and there’s all these other ridiculous issues. And so with that, I thank Jennifer [Beals, co-star] and Jerry [Offsay, then president of programming] and Showtime for allowing me to learn and be a beacon of knowledge and information for others who have no idea.

Reminisce on the good ol’ ‘L Word’ days with some of our favorite scenes with Pam Grier as Kit Porter:
