Terresa Graves (January 10, 1948 – October 10, 2002), credited as Teresa Graves, was an American actress and singer, best known for her starring role as undercover police detective Christie Love in the ABC crime-drama television series Get Christie Love! (1974–1975). The role made Graves the second African-American female to star in a non-stereotypical role for a U.S. drama television series. The first was Diahann Carroll in Julia, which aired 3 years earlier from 1968 to 1971. The Get Christie Love! series was based on Dorothy Uhnak's crime-thriller novel The Ledger.[2][3]
