Spike Lee stated when he saw this "greatness" on the screen, he knew immediately he wanted to be a part of the Arts

@jerlishacummings7808 Год назад

His integrity came through even in his acting. There will never be another Sidney Poitier. God bless his soul.

@gentleall Год назад

In the time that Sidney Poitier was working in movies, is what made him peerless as an actor/director. Growing up watching his films was nothing short of inspirational and jaw-dropping.

@frankpaquet295 Год назад

It was so sad when he died; this man was such a beacon for so many and such a wonderful actor. He definitely broke barriers and what an elegant man! Loved him. (from Sandi)

@deborahhemmings7368 Год назад

Sidney was the first actor I fell in love with. He was so amazing on screen. I was so proud of the Actor he was. He made me proud to be of African descent. I grieved for him as a family member or close friend would have. My condolences to his family.

"It's always a challenge when you're carrying other people's dream"... I personally felt that. It explains a lot I didn't understand then but I get now with my own kid.

@maggieedwards3951 Год назад

Quite simply one of the greatest to ever grace the screen, greatly missed but what a light .

@damianwalter1295 Год назад

Hello there Maggie👋

@lovesyah4618 Год назад

He was an incredible man and actor. I've seen all his movies more than once. RIP 🙏🏽♥️🌹🕊️

@sandrabradley3703 Год назад

As Mr Poitier was from the Catibbean we are proud of what he has achieved. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

@Michaela1942 Год назад

In the 1980s, when I was working at Columbia Pictures, Mr. Poitier had an office on the lot. We would pass one another often going our separate ways. You have NEVER been smiled at until you have been smiled at by Sidney Poitier. It was a big, warm, kind and genuine smile. I treasure it always.

Wow that's incredible. Thank you for sharing.

@Sdority905 Год назад

When I was little I watched old movies with my parents. "Guess who's coming to dinner" was one of my favorite movies. He is a legend and will be missed.

@sedgwickmcalaster7785 Год назад

Sidney Poitier lesson was THAT DIGNITY has nothing to do with the color of your SKIN 🖤

@jojosaylor8996 Год назад

He was such great man and actor

@CherieulaJ Год назад

Oh man, how I loved Mr. Poitier! ❤️❤️❤️ I named my youngest son after him, and oh how glad I am that I did. His film legacy will last forever, and he had integrity to pass on to others. What a gift God gave to us who are fans, and also to those who are not. The mindset to pick and choose roles that reveal his truth: Priceless. 🕊️💔 Rest In Peace, Mr. Sidney Poitier... 🕊️❤️❤️😘💋❤️❤️

@andrewbodie3308 Год назад

I have watched all of his movies what a great actor 😢

@emilgiese Год назад

A national treasure!

@TubeNutriDoc Год назад

I can remember as a young white girl seeing Guess Whose Coming to Dinner, and feeling so deeply moved with compassion and hope for a world which at that time seemed to be drawing lines between races and cultures. Plus I loved his voice, so smooth like butter. Thank you to Oprah et. al. who will bring this angel back to earth again for our edification and pleasure.

@riderskater7248 Год назад

Sidney was and is a powerful role model in my life. He shook me to my core and I'm a better human being because of his example.

@paulastenavage3348 Год назад

Hey there Paula👋

@voulathomacos-lagonas8445 Год назад

A real gentleman.. a wonderful role model for men everywhere ✨️

@onelevel2346 Год назад

How is he a role model - this I don't agree

@sandrabradley3703 Год назад

@@onelevel2346 Excuse me! He showed us here in the Caribbean that we can achieve greatness. As a black man he showed that we don't have to accept demeaning roles in Hollywood. Didnt you hear that he refused the role of 750.00 per week because of that storyline when he was only working for 75.00 per week? I think you should revisit this interview. You obviously was not paying attention.

@debrahelmlinger6256 Год назад

Always have Loved Sidney Poitier even as a child I would stay up late if one of his movies was on tv

@lindakafele9551 Год назад

@erichawkins5738 Год назад

More than just an actor, a true genius and humanitarian.

@sheltonlovesr.8941 Год назад

I’m 60, and to watch him as I grow up in all the wonderful movies he did, is a honor. He blessed soooo many of us who barley saw someone who look like us play rolls that mostly went to white people. He, gave, us, hope! He was and is a true icon. Peace and Blessing to all. I Love U Sidney. I Love U All.

Pamela looks just like her Dad. Mr. Poitier was an awesome actor.

@Ljacksmith Год назад

Yes she does. And it’s wonderful to see her face.

@garfieldharrison510 Год назад

The line I would've written for the Dad to counter Sidney's character. In America they will always see you as a coloured man. Rest in Power Sidney. You did well.

@joanholland3438 Год назад

I think I cried a lot through To Sir with Love and even wrote a letter to him. ❤

@user-ko2tu3ss3o Год назад

Gayle King has not an ounce of shine when compared to the gracious glow of love of these magnificent daughters. And did Oprah lie about her feelings for Maya Angelou, or is it more platitudes falling from her mouth that she perceives as wisdom when she speaks of Sir Sidney Poitier. Thank you the Sisters Poitier for your loving memories of fact, of a dear man beloved by so many. A life well lived, a memory treasured. A man blessed beyond imaging by a family whom he loved, above celerity and who loved in return. Rest in Peace Sir Sidney.

@bonnieanderson5865 Год назад

He impacted my family, I am white and I didn't know any one black. I knew he was just like me in all the ways that mattered so he became a man that made my family laugh and we watched Lillies of the field and it has been my childhood favorite.

So looking forward to this film on Mr. Poitier.

@FreeAsABird53 Год назад

I would like to watch this and hear about Mr Poitier and even catch a glimpse of his daughters. But I can not because Oprah is involved. Maybe someday his daughters will do another piece that is solely produced by the family or with someone else. After what Oprah tried with Michael Jackson and his family after his passing, I made a vow that I would never set eyes upon her or ever listen to the sound of her voice ever again. When she leaves this earth, it will be a great day for humanity. Rest in Peace Mr Poitier. You were a once in a lifetime brilliant light ✨🌟💙🙏🏽

The way he treated Diahann Carroll was despicable. He pressured her to leave her husband and when she did, Sidney refused to end his marriage to be with her. I read Diahann’s memoir and it made me see Sidney as a user.
