Famous quotes by Sidney Poitier:

"My mother is a Bahamian. My father is a Bahamian, as am I, ... And all that I am, I've received from them and a country that has today given me the opportunities, and to my grandchildren, that I have never dreamt of."

"I'll always be chasing you, ... Glory."

"[Smith said he, too, is pleased by the recognition of African-American actors. He noted that Poitier was the last man to win a best actor award] and that was 28 years ago. ... Lilies of the Field."

"Southern Gentleman."

"If you apply reason and logic to this career of mine, you're not going to get very far. You simply won't. The journey has been incredible from its beginning. So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness."

"We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists... in the loved one, perfection."

"I don't very often read novels."

"When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard."

"As a man, I've been representative of the values I hold dear. And the values I hold dear are carryovers from the lives of my parents."

"I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month."

"I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values."

"I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being."

"I knew what it was to be uncomfortable in a movie theater watching unfolding on the screen images of myself - not me, but black people - that were uncomfortable."

"A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another."

"I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life."

"I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden."

"I wouldn't change a single thing, because one change alters every moment that follows it."

"If you apply reason and logic to this career of mine, you're not going to get very far. You simply won't."

"I lived in a country where I couldn't live where I wanted to live. I lived in a country where I couldn't go where I wanted to eat. I lived in a country where I couldn't get a job, except for those put aside for people of my colour or caste."

"I know how easy it is for one to stay well within moral, ethical, and legal bounds through the skillful use of words - and to thereby spin, sidestep, circumvent, or bend a truth completely out of shape. To that extent, we are all liars on numerous occasions."

Duration: 113:48
Updated: 06 Dec 2013

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED Mandela and de Klerk is a 1997 television film directed by Joseph Sargent. It stars Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine. It was nominated for numerous awards in 1997 and 1998. Synopsis: On June 12, 1964, Nelson Mandela, along with a number of political detainees, was sentenced to life imprisonment in what remains the most sensational treason trial in the history of South Africa. The incarceration of Mandela and other political prisoners on Robben Island would become a symbol of the struggle to end apartheid and win freedom for the black majority in South Africa. On February 2, 1990, President F.W. De Klerk stood before Parliament and announced the legalization of the African National Congress and a host of other banned political organizations. At the same time, he announced that Nelson Mandela, having served 27 years in prison, would be released within 7 days. Yet the world, and indeed most South Africans, knew little about how this momentous occasion came to pass. Until now. Mandela & De Klerk was filmed in South Africa. Most of the locations are those where the actual events took place, and the dramatized sequences are augmented with newsreel footage to ensure the most accurate portrayal possible of recent historical events. Cast: Sidney Poitier as Nelson Mandela Michael Caine as F.W. de Klerk Tina Lifford as Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Gerry Maritz as P.W. Botha Ian Roberts as Kobie Coetsee Golden Globes, USA 1998 Nominated Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV Michael Caine Primetime Emmy Awards 1997 Nominated Primetime Emmy Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Special Sidney Poitier Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Special Michael Caine Screen Actors Guild Awards 1998 Nominated Actor Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries Sidney Poitier

After this there was no looking back and he went on to win awards such as the Oscar Honorary Academy Award the Golden Globe and the BAFTA to name a few. Though Poitier had married Juanita Hardy in 1950 the marriage lasted only till 1965 and his current wife is Joanna Shimkus whom he married on January 23 1976.

!!HOLLYWOOD LEGEND TONY CURTIS DIES AT 85: A LOOK BACK!!

Order: Reorder

Updated: 30 Sep 2010

Curtis appeared in more than 140 Hollywood films during his career Matt Lauer talks to actor Tony Curtis about his new book "American Prince: A Memoir." Oscar-nominated actor Tony Curtis has died at age 85, the Clark County, Nev., coroner said Thursday. Coroner Mike Murphy said the 85-year-old actor died at 9:25 p.m. MDT Wednesday at his Las Vegas area home of a cardiac arrest. Entertainment Tonight first reported the news of Curtis's death, citing a representative for the actor's daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis. Curtis is perhaps best known for his comedic turn in in Billy Wilder's "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon. He also received an Oscar nomination in 1959 for "The Defiant Ones," in which he starred with Sidney Poitier. His film credits also include "Spartacus," "The Outsider" and "The Sweet Smell of Success" before he turned almost exclusively to comedic roles. Born Bernard Schwartz in New York City on June 3, 1925, Curtis grew up in the city's Bronx section. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1943 and upon his release he returned to New York City to attend acting classes. A contract with Universal Pictures took him to Hollywood, where he made his debut in 1948's "Criss Cross."

The Furies (Anthony Mann, 1950) - Trailer

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:18
Updated: 17 Oct 2014

Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston are at their fierce finest in master Hollywood craftsman Anthony Mann’s crackling western melodrama The Furies. In 1870s New Mexico Territory, megalomaniacal widowed ranch owner T. C. Jeffords (Huston, in his final role) butts heads with his daughter, Vance (Stanwyck), a firebrand with serious daddy issues, over her dowry, choice of husband, and, finally, ownership of the land itself. Both sophisticated in its view of frontier settlement and ablaze with searing domestic drama, The Furies is a hidden treasure of American filmmaking, boasting Oscar™–nominated cinematography and vivid supporting turns from Judith Anderson, Wendell Corey, and Gilbert Roland.

Jackson, Leonardo Dicaprio and Kerry Washington. Although Sway called the movie his "personal favorite movie in 5 years," critics had something else to say about the N-word being used 109 times. Quentin responded to the criticism, while speaking on advice that Sidney Poitier gave him. "He told me to 'man up. It sounds like you're afraid of your own movie.
