Pamela Ruther He was my favourite actor when I was a kid. I bugged my grandfather to take me to see ” A Patch of Blue”. I was the only child in the audience. R.I.P Mr. Poitier . You were a great actor. My condolences to your family.

TheEthicalFoodie We all know 94 is a good age, but it’s still very sad as Sidney Poitier was so very special as an actor and a remarkable human being. I loved his films and interviews.
