Sydney Poitier - Most famous for "To Sir With Love" died on 6.1.22

He would've been 96 next month.

His best film was arguably "To Sir With Love" back in the mid 60s, which starred Lulu and a young Johnny Briggs who eventually starred as Mike Baldwin in Coronation St.

He was a Bahamian-American black actor, who probably struggled to get work during the height of racism in the early to mid 60s.

Thoughts?
