Black History Month - Cicely Tyson References to "Star of stage, screen and television" have been thrown around casually for years. Cicely Tyson managed those achievement when roles for Black women were rare and limited. She garnered both praise and awards for her work across genres. Tyson was renowned for playing strong Black women, which she could pull off with aplomb as she was a strong Black woman. Her career spanned seven decades, inspiring, as she was only getting warmed up in middle age. Born in Harlem to religious West Indian parents, her mother rejected her career until she witnessed her work first-hand. She worked her way through supporting roles in the 50s and 60s and proved the adage there are no small acting parts, only small actors as she shined in her roles. She joined fellow luminaries #MayaAngelou, #JamesEarlJones and #LouisGossettJr in the celebrated #offbroadway production of #JeanGenet's #TheBlacks Tyson's star ascended at the tender age of 48 in the film #Sounder. This was followed by her role as the title character in #TheAutobiographyOfMissJanePittman. Roles as #Binta in the iconic #Roots and as #CorettaScottKing in the 1978 #miniseries about #MLK rounded out the decade. There's far more than I can fit into this post (including surviving #MilesDavis). I encourage you to read on. That's a wrap for #BHM but stay tuned. There are plenty of other profiles I intend to cover and an announcement will follow in the next couple of days. These posts have cost me some followers. There shouldn't be anything controversial about celebrating and respecting #BlackWomen. Fair warning, my posts are just going to get blacker, like me after a long ride or five minutes listening to #MarvinGaye. #stagescreenandtelevision #oscar #emmy #academyawards #naacp #VisualArt #BlackHistoryMonth #blackisbeautiful2021 #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory #blackexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CL2vnj5jT2J/?igshid=1n0wctw7oic2o

My #cicely story. My Mom took me to see this movie #bustinloose with some guy named #richardpryor when I was a kid. He was really funny, but the woman who played the teacher affected me the most. After I saw that movie I wanted to be an actress. When I saw the water fountain scene in the TV movie which earned her an emmy award in the seventies, #theautobiographyofmissjanepittman I was astounded..It's a shame Hollywood didn't give her her a bouquet flowers until the last decade or so. Seeing her play @violadavis mother in #howtogetawaywithmurder was EVERYTHING. I even memorized the title of first episode she appeared in: Mama's Here written by @swptatopie who did one helluva job! To see Cicely and Viola together knowing one had paved the way for the other was too exciting to properly describe!!! Thank you @shondarhimes !! I made sure to see her onstage as soon as I found out about #atriptobountiful and got on a plane to see her on Broadway AND in L A. And flew 3000 miles again to see her co-star with my other #acting inspiration #jamesearljones in Gin Game. They were MAGIC together!!! She absolutely exuded JOY onstage!! And like her I will perform onstage into my golden years. Well done Cicely. #standingovation from all of us. Bravo!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKnT7afpleY/?igshid=1qx1wr39o0uml
