Basic Writing Skills w/ Cicely Tyson (1988) 

U can thank me for the thumbs up so you can resee this ...im sad she had died

Well said 👏👏👏👑🖤❤️

Awesome!!

True but one woman's trash is another ones treasure. She chose roles that she wanted.

Already i Loved her spirit

She wasn't 64 here....really? She looks too young for that

@@daviedood2503 yes she was 64 here..born in 1924.

@@dr.dacosta3504 she looks like mid 30s MAYBE 39? 42 max but not no mid 60s...

@@daviedood2503 I agree

@@daviedood2503 She takes "don't crack" to a level that defies science 🔭🧪. She probably wasn't even experiencing menopause yet. I'm convinced Cicely Tyson drinks snake 🐍 blood and uses the venom as a skin moisturizer. I want the potion. 🧐🤷🏿‍♀️😂😂😂😂💅🏿

Hard to know how old she is. For most of her career her birth year was said to be 1933, but someone started publishing the year as 1924 a few years ago. She has never said which is correct. It's likely that she misrepresented her age when she started acting as many women of her era did.

U can thank me for the thumbs up so you can resee this ...im sad she had died

@@direfranchement True. Even 1933 was the correct date she would be 55, which she looks no where near. Her energy appears younger than someone over 55 as well.

I need to get me some beet juice I’m trying to look this good at 66 😂

@@AN-fg4cd straight up cover girl

What a beautiful tribute to her memory and life's work. Thank you.

Yes, she deserves all the flowers.

Very nice! Young people need to flourish their minds. People are slaves to political ideologies. We have to rise above all that and think like the humans on a tiny spinning ball trying to make things happen for the greater good. 🤘

she also has a close relative over here in ENGLAND and she is also a well known actress.

Same. Introduced to my kids and family.

Yaasss! I love it!

True amen

I don't know if this type of writing is still tough in schools today .

.....concise, and complete; well...that requires time, plenty of time.

That's a great rule.

She was 64.... I can not believe it.

@@marissawilson4644 Right. She looks nothing like it. She was truly amazing.

Whooooa!!!! Omg I swear I thought she was around her 30s/40s.... woooooooow!!!!!!

@@indigoearthangel888 that's why she was so interesting. I could never tell her age because she really looks younger. She really does

@@boomerang905 this is true. She was amazing!

Black people...the original fountain of youth baby! 👸🏽

Cicely Tyson doesn't age one bit !

Ikr...She doesn't even look 44 years old here 🤩

Wow really!? Thought she was in her late 30s!

No, she wasn't 64 years old in this video.

Very true. Nine times out of ten, you'll get in the groove once you get started and all the doubts fall away.

The big thing too is nowadays with word processing technology we are able to manipulate the text however we want with the greatest of ease. That's a great luxury we have that they didn't necessarily have when this was taped.

You know she been a Vegan for over 30years.

Stop lying you ain't have no crush😂hush

Yes! She was always beautiful. I see why you were crushing on her!

Wait whuaatttt 64???? 🤯🤯 omg shes beautifull

DAMN LIE! Black "don't crack" when you TAKE CARE OF IT! I know full well you have SEEN some "black" that you WONDER, "WTF HAPPENED to him/her? DAMN"

Cicely Tyson are plant base diet

64??

Well that explains the turtleneck sweater. Still that's incredible. Actually in the thumbnail I thought she was Robin Givens.

This is wonderful. However, I personally don’t tie intelligence to grammar or lack thereof.

@@Afropocahantas yeah intelligence and literacy are different

Great video critical thinking and nice dialogue amongst the group

Those of you who said grammar and literacy have no connection to intellect.... That is wrong on many levels.

Litteraly 3 mins into the video she explains how literacy and intelligence are connected 🤣🤣🤣 y'all didn't even watch the video 3 mins in 🤣🤣

She looks 25 !!!!!!!?????????

With the right hairstyle I could see her playing a 21 year old even and not questioning or doubting her age for one second. I bet the other host in the video is half her age. The other woman looks like she would be her mom's friend.

@@lyzzlyzzy1023 nah she doesn't look 25. That's BS. Mid 40s at minimum...young than 60+ sure

Good man.

I remember learning that at some point in time but I don't remember when. It was great to be reminded.

Haha

Really? I never knew that. I love this woman's poise and strength.

yeah, he was a violent nutcase, I wonder why she even bothered with him?

@@joejones9520 She thought that she could help him. When they met, he was in a bad place. She changed his life for the better, he made her happy for some time, I suppose as well, but he was an extremely tormented man, but still a genius nevertheless.

@@lottietucker3082 the importance of music falls quickly to the wayside when it's compared to beating the hell out of a woman for no reason, over and over. He was an a-hole, that's all.

@@joejones9520 I think any logical person understands that. But, you cannot take away Dr. Jeckly's accomplishments just because Mr. Hyde needs to show his ass, due to Trauma. He did not have the tools to express himself any other way. While not an excuse, its very real and very prevalent amongst men of all races. She herself described him as a genius years after their divorce and his death. Im just using her words. I have a natural unforgiving nature, but I still know that people have a good side. I hate what he did to her, but I cannot deny how his music makes me feel. That would be me lying to myself. He was a disturbed person with trauma and mental health issues. Are you expecting people like that to live up to your standards of acceptability and accountability? If you are, you are kidding yourself. Do you want to be judged forever for the wrong you've done? Or do you want to be seen as balanced and a person who did some things right, as well? If so then you need to extend that same foresight to someone else.

Yes, that is old school stuff. The ways of the new day don't connect with respectability and integrity.

So trueee

I think people were better looking back then, no caked on makeup, and better hairstyles. I have always looked up to Cicely. People who like her should read her autobiography "Just As I Am."

So sweet !!!

@@mardigras33 🙏

Me too 😅🤣🤣

Same 😂

i done it a few years ago, because i wanted to keep record of people who also came from the same island as my father and mother.........

@@emaniroyster9471 me as well.........

Writing is not easy for most people but it's rewarding. Please read my book BLACK PIONEERS IN BLUE HAWAII.

Did you finish it yet

@@deet3646 first draft is almost done but it’s a process. I have to finish the draft, refine it, refine it again, get the characters drawn and then market. “Finished” is a little down the line but I’m ok with that because I know everything is a process. Trust me you’ll see it when I’m done

Good luck!

great

This was a good video, someone send it to me, I'm not clear on their intentions, but never the less i needed it, so to who ever i say thanks

Ha! Say that! I was horrible in writing class

That's awesome! You can always use it for future clarity.

Do you mean impeccable or truly unpackable? Maybe unparalleled? 🤷🏾‍♀️🧚🏿‍♀️

@@toastEDmrshmello09 Thank you ☺️ my English professor

🤣

😂😂

Kayla O. Yes she was!! But she's actually aged gracefully. 4/24/19

Yes! It does look like it's from 1978.... They must have made a mistake on the date

@@jasonboy35b9 Yeah, this is from 1978.

@@jasonboy35b9 I think someone listed the wrong date

Yea they definitely didn't dress that way in 1988.Maybe 80 or 81

1988...no smartphones. 2022...smartphones...and now....Metaverse.

@@limitlessvision. The ironies. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Avg. people now have easier access to volumes of information Via their computers & smartphones AND easier access to the VASTEST LIBRARY EVER known to Mankind (ie. The Internet). YET, they're dumber than ever! 😳

I'm sad to say that I'm a part of the 25% that can actually write. Good writing is an analytical process.

@@josephinebournes8212. Big Picture ---> This pervasive erosion of basic communication skills in the U.S. is part of the systematic "Dumbing Down of America." They're even allowing people to get jobs (interacting with the public) when they're clearly incapable of completing THE JOB APPLICATION at a H.S. level. Ref. "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" By Charlotte Iserbyt

2023

With all the technology now people are are not reading, and bookstores are few and far between. Thankfully, libraries still exist.

@@einsteindarwin8756 right I was one of the last people still going to bookstores.

Imagine if it was Kelly Coffield (from In Living Color).

Ulaly son?

@@merugiadambruck6082 ??????????

😊

Wonderful.

IKR

I think it would be 60 my friend 16 + 44 ='s 60.

This was in 1988 so 16+ 48 would be 64 lol
