In the time that Sidney Poitier was working in movies, is what made him peerless as an actor/director. Growing up watching his films was nothing short of inspirational and jaw-dropping.

Sidney was the first actor I fell in love with. He was so amazing on screen. I was so proud of the Actor he was. He made me proud to be of African descent. I grieved for him as a family member or close friend would have. My condolences to his family.

In the 1980s, when I was working at Columbia Pictures, Mr. Poitier had an office on the lot. We would pass one another often going our separate ways. You have NEVER been smiled at until you have been smiled at by Sidney Poitier. It was a big, warm, kind and genuine smile. I treasure it always.

I can remember as a young white girl seeing Guess Whose Coming to Dinner, and feeling so deeply moved with compassion and hope for a world which at that time seemed to be drawing lines between races and cultures. Plus I loved his voice, so smooth like butter. Thank you to Oprah et. al. who will bring this angel back to earth again for our edification and pleasure.

@@onelevel2346 Excuse me! He showed us here in the Caribbean that we can achieve greatness. As a black man he showed that we don't have to accept demeaning roles in Hollywood. Didnt you hear that he refused the role of 750.00 per week because of that storyline when he was only working for 75.00 per week? I think you should revisit this interview. You obviously was not paying attention.

Gayle King has not an ounce of shine when compared to the gracious glow of love of these magnificent daughters. And did Oprah lie about her feelings for Maya Angelou, or is it more platitudes falling from her mouth that she perceives as wisdom when she speaks of Sir Sidney Poitier. Thank you the Sisters Poitier for your loving memories of fact, of a dear man beloved by so many. A life well lived, a memory treasured. A man blessed beyond imaging by a family whom he loved, above celerity and who loved in return. Rest in Peace Sir Sidney.

I would like to watch this and hear about Mr Poitier and even catch a glimpse of his daughters. But I can not because Oprah is involved. Maybe someday his daughters will do another piece that is solely produced by the family or with someone else. After what Oprah tried with Michael Jackson and his family after his passing, I made a vow that I would never set eyes upon her or ever listen to the sound of her voice ever again. When she leaves this earth, it will be a great day for humanity. Rest in Peace Mr Poitier. You were a once in a lifetime brilliant light ✨🌟💙🙏🏽
