Sir Sidney Poitier - the first black man to win Best Actor Oscar - dies aged 94

We seem to have lost so many of the 'great' actors, we forget that they age along with us. I think one of my favorites was 'Guess Who's Coming to Diner', also enjoyed 'Shoot to Kill'.

Two of his films which held great meaning to me.
Lilies of the Valley
And To Sir With Love

This film and The Defiant Ones I'll always watch if they appear on TV, and any others that I know he will be in. Great actor. RIP

Excellent actor. R.I.P.

My favorite movie with him in it is "To Sir With Love", which I have a DVD of. Very touching about a teacher in England trying to teach a batch of quite unruly kids.

Here a song by Lulu that's in the movie that captures this quite well: To Sir, with Love • Theme Song • Lulu - YouTube

That Jamaican accent sealed the deal when he performed in different productions. I did not see his portrayal of Nelson Mandela......RIP . Sidney Portier
