Sidney Poitier, the legendary actor, Oscar winner and activist who broke racial barriers in Hollywood, has died at 94.
The iconic actor broke racial barriers in Hollywood, becoming the first Black man to win an Oscar in 1964.
Poitier began his acting career in the American Negro Theater before making his film debut in 1950 in the film"No Way Out" at a time when leading roles for Black actors in Hollywood movies were rare. Poitier purposely chose to work on provocative films with a social conscience. He plays half of an interracial couple with Katharine Houghton in"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," which navigates whether her parents, played by Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, would accept the relationship at a time when interracial marriage was still illegal in many states.
