Sidney Poitier, Who Paved the Way for Black Actors in Film, Dies at 94
The first Black performer to win the Academy Award for best actor, for “Lilies of the Field,” he once said he felt “as if I were representing 15, 18 million people with every move I made.”
Great actor and trailblazer, but most of all-- a class act! He made many movies his own, but "To Sir With Love" will always be one of my all-time favorites.
