[@ML-zj3ph]

My sincerest condolences to his beautiful daughters, grandchildren and family. Mr Poitier sounded like a loving and active dad in his daughter’s lives. That is so refreshing to know, especially since he was a busy man in his wonderful career! You can see the love and admiration they had for their dad. I have so many favorite movies, but I loved “To Sir with Love” and “In the heat of the night”, and of course the trilogy movies that he teamed up with Bill Cosby (Uptown Saturday Night, Let’s Do it again, A Piece of the Action). Thank you Mr Poitier for representing blacks on the screen with dignified and respectful roles that we could be proud of. Thanks for fighting for our civil rights and social change, and not backing down from being blacklisted for standing your ground. You will truly be missed, your legacy will live on forever for the future generations! Rest in Heaven, Sir Poitier! 🙏🏾❤️‍🩹💕

I'm old enough to remember watching Sidney's old movies as a kid. I'm 64 now. Sidney Poitier, as far as I'm concerned, was/is one of the finest actors who ever graced a stage or a screen. The man is gold. His is pure class. The fact that he is black, and still accomplished this during the era of real race hate - is beyond amazing. But also some credit is due to the whites in high places that loved him enough to make sure he got there. Those are the unsung heros. After, ALL whites were not racists! I wasn't!

[@Laburles858]

My favorite actor since 1957!

I have never met Sidney Poitier in the flesh but he has had more of a profound influence on my psyche than all the male figures that I looked-up to in my youth, including my own father. This was mainly because of the great work he was doing on the big screen, filling me with so much pride that I almost felt I was an extension of the man himself (I used to ad lib some of his catchy lines as I walked out the cinema after seeing one of his films __ lines like the assertive, "They call me Mr. Tibbs!" from "In the Heat Of The Night", and the defiant, "They don't need no excuses!" from "Blackboard Jungle" The man was the perfect idol/ hero in my life then and he continues to be...
