His voice. His bearing. His dignity. His immense talent. How could anyone not love & respect this charming, beautiful man? A class act all the way. Such a loss. We need more examples of the best of humanity like he was ,not the garbage people we are forced to look up to today. They have not an ounce of the class this man exuded. God bless him. To Sir, with my love.

He truly is the embodiment of elegance. I never get tired of listening to him speak. I watched Lilies of The Field last night, his performance is mesmerizing. Let’s all honor him by watching his films, his interviews, keeping his memory alive. May his work continue to touch the lives of future generations.

RIP He was a true icon, classy, gentleman, educated, representing classic Hollywood and modern day Hollywood. Classy actors are a rarity in this day and age.

RIP Sidney Poitier. One of the biggest movie stars of the 60s and an icon in American history.

Life is crazy. For the last month, I tried looking for his films, cause they seem to be erased from film catalogs. Then this happens. His work is SO important and needs to be shown more than what we see these days. Maybe now we can get some of Mr. Poitier's cinematic medicine. R.I.P. Mr Sir. 🙏🙏🙏

Most people criticizing his "safe" roles must not have seen any of his movies. There was nothing safe about what he did. He took a lot of risks and I never heard him once complain. RIP Mr. Poitier.

WHAT an amazing LIFE ...and what an AMAZING man.....! May he Rest in Peace!

I was shock about Betty white news and now this actually broken my heart every piece of me shattered. Like wow his Oscar award winning in sneakers he’s great and another awesome performance in Little Nikita. My dad wants me to get when he was high school teacher teaching kids from the bad to good. God bless Sidney Poitier brought him to us incredible Hollywood face we never forget. I love him 😍.

I loved the way he spoke and moved his body when he walked what a Great Coloured Man he became God Blessed him he gave BLACK actors a Great Door to walk through with dignity TKS very much Sidney Poitier for your on earth ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍

He was the best of the best when it came to entertainment. He was a first-class act. No one can even come close; black or white.

I grew up in the 50's and 60's watching his movies Truly one of the greatest !

Rest In Peace Sidney Poitier ❤️✨Thank you ❤️

We will never have another Sidney 🎇

A simple Man With A Big heart grew up poor, struggling families only to survive like his, came a blessing from a very humbling back ground that inner strength of love & perseverance, certainly a beacon light of hope 🔯🌠

ET you touched my heart with this tribute to the greatest of all time! #goat

He was outstanding. I adored him. I got the utmost pleasure from looking at him. He was Sidney..just uniquely Sidney.

Sidney was on my bucket list, so sad I didn't get to meet him, may he rest in eternal peace, sadly missed.

Rest In Power!!! Job Well Done Mr. Sidney Poitier

A true gentleman and magnificent actor. The greatest amongst the best.

Legend !! Icon!!

My mother was a young teenager in 60’s Scotland. Sydney Poitier was one of her first major film star crushes. He managed to break down inherited prejudices. It would have been awkward for my mum to take home a black man as her boyfriend. Thanks to him, my mum brought me up without those prejudices. We watched To Sir With Love together in the late 80’s. I too fell for his stunning looks and strong presence. To you Sir, With Love from me and my mum. 😘

I would like to get his movies so I can remembering him I love Hollywood famous actresses and actors that he brought fans. Sidney Poitier be loved and missed

Simply the best RIH GREAT MAN!!!

Rest In Peace Sidney Poitier 🙏🏽❤️❤️

RIP Great Actor Civil Rights Icon Sir, Mr.Tibbs Mr.Poitier.

one word a icon!!!!!!!!!!

Betty White and now him. 😭

Sidney Poitier Came to America 🇺🇸 with no money💲 no friends no family ,👥 and became an icon✨

OUTSTANDING❗😇❗Thanks E.T.✨🌟✨❤️🏆❤️

What an Icon to look up at. RIP Sir!

One Word, "Classy"

A great actor & a great man !!!! To be celebrated not mourned .

I love that movie I watch it over and over I love it

I LOVING MEMORY OF SIDNEY PORTIA

He said in a film- you think of yourself as a colored man and I think of myself as just a man. Thank you Sydney! Thanks utube.

My mother would make me and my brothers watch his movies when they were on. She held Sidney Poitier up as a shining example of what a proud black man looked like. Growing up in 1960’s Deep South Mississippi as a child wasn’t easy. l recall my mother talking about “In The Heat Of The Night”, especially the scene in which Sidney slaps the bigoted white plantation owner Endicott after getting slapped first. Unthinkable that a black man would do that in Mississippi and live to tell it. I didn’t understand! All that changed as l got older and experienced racial discrimination firsthand, had fist fights with whites because of my blackness and saw the movie as an adult. “Mama, I fully understand now.” I now remember telling her once. And she knew l got it! Sidney Poitier demanded respect and got it! I’m a fan for life. What a great black man!!!!! Rest well, Sidney….😔🕊

Fantastically Fantastic

Rest in heaven

Descanse en paz gracias por hacernos sentir tantas cosas bonitas

He was ALWAYS MY FIRST HERO, NOW that I know more about his life as a young man He is the FIRST OBAMA,ALI,MLK. He shaped me as a doy growing up on SS of Chicago. We lost another G 1 the world will NEVER BE BETTER RIP BRO...!

Sir. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

De geschiedenis de ontwikkeling van het leven en de films van deze icoon moet gebracht worden naar vooral de jeugd overal en i.h.b in suriname.

He has motivated me to learn how to speak well. With a slight studder and speech impediment, Sidney Poiter and James Earl Jones gives me hope to speak and do it well with class.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

🙏🏼🙏🏼

This guy was CLASS. I dont recall Betty White getting this much attention.

RIP. 😥🙏

The way he talked to his son in Raising ln The Sun. I learned what kind of father I would be.l REALLY can't put into words how as a fatherless doy,NO as a DARK SKIN little B B he helped me to learn PRIDE,HONOR,DISAPLIN,SELFRESPECT,and that's Y I decided to join the ARMY. To make SURE no matter what I would show the world I could B MORE than just a LITTLE B B from the SS of CHICAGO RIP,RIP...!

🙏

rip 😥

He was blessed by God

Yo props to that fortune teller, nailed it.

Rest in peace.

I love you

❤

Guest who is going home to Heaven for dinner rest in peace Sir

Why do we wait until people are gone , when they cannot see the speakers or writers of these praises and accolades or hear all these wonderful things we say while they are in this world? We wait until they 'blind and deaf' then we sing the " hallelujah chorus. Me included.

RIP

Black Americans especially black Southern American stop hating, and disliking black foreigners, we are the one who work hard to open up doors of freedom. Working and being bold is our nature. Just remember the earth belongs to the Lord. How can you hate a person and go to Heaven?

Oprah: There's no one on earth i love more Stedman: 😳

So many people mourning him. I don’t even know who he was. It feels like everyone not shutting up about a stranger.

Love Poitier, Oprah not at all. They are in different realms.

Is this about Sidney or about Oprah? 😡

Sidney was a great actor but not really into black people.

RIP sinful Poitier🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

He died a few years back. Lots of ppl reporting

Did Poitier get his shots after O' Bomb-them reefed him ????
