The first Black man to win an Oscar for Best Actor, and one of my all time favorites. Quite a few of us picked him
RIP
I know he gets a lot of attention because he was "the first".... but my most memorable roles by Sidney are other than Lilies of the Field... a good movie, but I like some of his other work better.
Shoot To Kill is an underrated Sidney Poitier movie
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
