Sidney Poitier (1927-2022)

Kicking off our tribute is the legendary Sidney Poitier, who passed away on January 6, 2022, at the age of 94. The Bahamian-American actor was a true trailblazer in Hollywood, breaking racial barriers with his groundbreaking roles.

Poitier was the first Black man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in Lilies of the Field (1963). He went on to star in iconic films like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) and In the Heat of the Night (1967), becoming a symbol of hope and progress during the Civil Rights Movement.

His contributions to cinema were far-reaching, and his impact on Hollywood's diversity and inclusion is still felt today. Rest in peace, Sidney. You were one of the greats.

Bob Saget (1956-2022)

Saget's comedic timing and everyman persona made him a beloved figure in American television. He continued to act and perform stand-up comedy throughout his career, always bringing laughter and joy to his audiences. We'll miss you, Bob. You were always there to make us laugh.
