Sidney Poitier was 94 years old. I remember him from Lilies of the Field which won him an Academy Award. The first African American to win the best actor award. His family was all from the Bahamas (where he died), but he was born in Miami, making him a citizen automatically. I think he was a wonderful actor; very versatile – able to play a variety of roles. I'm sure In the Heat of the Night was his most well-known movie.

To Sir With Love, Lilies of the Field, and the re-make of The Jackal. All movies for your bucket list.
