Thank you for posting the article on Cicely Tyson, she is one of my few favorite actresses and has been for a long time. Love this Lady! Cant’ find good actresses this women anymore. Not only is she talented but a beautiful and lovely person as well.
Since my children were small, I use to watch every single movie she played in, and never realized that my children paid attention to my likings. They knew how much I loved her movie and her as a person and would always purchase DVD’s of her, and girl I would play her movies over and over till they couldn’t play anymore. Look… still have her movies on Video cassette and not getting rid of them.….Lol.
Its funny you mentioned her. A couple of months ago, my son had called me, knowing how much I adore her, and told me that he had just finished a photo shoot with the New York Times and as he was coming out of a photo shoot, he told me he saw this small frame gorgeous and BEU_TI_FUL older black woman coming toward the door and not realizing who she was he ran to open the door for her. He told me that she thanked him and struck up a conversation with him, and all the while he was talking to her he kept saying this women looks so familiar but it hadn’t dawn on him who she was till he left and headed for the train. When he remembered who she was, he face time me from the train station which he rarely do (in the snow with no hat on his head which disturbed me) and ask what was the name of that one actress I liked and I told him her name and he said to me I just met her. He said she is gorgeous and the picture we see on T.V. of her does her no justice. He says she is about 4 ft, 9 in. in statute and still looks good. He said she just started talking to him as if she had known him for years, and ghetto me, was like…. but did you get the picture…though. Lmfbo! I told him Boo you are not doing it right, you have to break out some kind of camera or something when it comes to people I like. All he kept saying is Mom Cecily is Gorgeous. He had told me that Cecily, Cuban Gooding Jr. and some “mo” folks were doing a play on Broadway, and she had came in early for a photo shoot. He had told me she does a lot of performance on Broadway, and don’t look a day over 50.
As she stated, there is still much work for her to do. You go Girl….Handle it. Truly Amazing!
Good Post Phoebe!
