Okay so up next is this legendary actor:


Sir Sidney Poitier is a Bahamian-American actor and director. He was born on 20th February, 1927 in Miami, Florida, USA. His parents were farmers from Bahamas who were only in the USA on business. So Poitier grew up in Bahamas as the youngest of seven children. At the age of 15 he moved to Miami and then at the age of 16 he moved to New York City. He then enlisted in the army for the Second World War.

After he returned to New York City he began his acting career with the North American Negro Theater. His first movie was No Way Out (1950) and it was the start of a very successful acting career. He was one of the first black actors to ever win an Oscar for the movie Lilies of the Field (1963). In his career he has made approximately 50 movies. But which one is your favorite?


Totals: In March.

 

Unfortunately I can also only list one film:

1. Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (1967)
It's a really great movie though and I love how they have a topic of a couple from different backgrounds. I think at the time it was considered ground breaking.
