Great man. Always told it like it was. No beating around the bush.

Great actor. RIP.

He took a lot of trash for his life from some blacks and made it through it all. I will be 74 soon and him passing at 94 makes it seem like a very, very long life.

 

[Pinky]

Rest in Peace, Mr. Poitier .. I send you off with great respect and admiration.

Sorry to hear it; as was said above, one of the great ones.

Particularly loved him in To Sir, with Love and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Brilliant.

A great loss, indeed.

 

[Gaer]

Oh NO!!!! So debonair, so suave.

For the longest time, "A Patch of Blue" was my favorite movie. Just listening to him talk was a pleasure.
He and Betty White were like special gifts to all of of us.

His breakout movie with Tony Curtis, 'The Defiant Ones' made a statement that he was a major star.

My favourite by a long way was ''In the heat of the Night''.. Virgil Tibbs, so much so that I have the theme tune ''Foul Owl on the Prowl as a ringtone on my phone

....and of course I loved Guess whose coming to dinner...

Was that "They call me Mr. Tibbs"? That was another great one.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

“To Sir with Love” and “Lilies of the Field” were my faves.
