From CNN -

Sidney Poitier, Oscar-winning actor and Hollywood's first Black movie star, dies at 94

Sidney Poitier, whose elegant bearing and principled onscreen characters made him Hollywood's first Black movie star and the first Black man to win the best actor Oscar, has died. He was 94.

Clint Watson, press secretary for the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, confirmed to CNN that Poitier died Thursday evening.

1967 was a good year for him - he starred in three classic movies that year - To Sir With Love, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, and In The Heat Of The Night.

In The Heat Of The Night was the first movie that I saw him in, and for that one alone (and he had many other iconic roles), I think he belongs in any list of the top 20 actors ever.

From IMDB -

2022 has started out as badly as 2021 ended.
