🕊️🕯️R.I.P. • Quite Possibly THE GREATEST To Ever Grace The Silver Screen • SIDNEY POITIER (1929-2022)🕯️🕊️

Sidney Poitier, one of the last remaining icons of Hollywood’s golden age, has died at age 94. Much ink will be spilled, and rightfully so, about his significance as a cultural icon of the civil rights era who made history at not just the Oscars but at the box office, too.
