Damn, indeed. Just yesterday I was reading about the star-studded 100th birthday celebration that was being planned for her.

Fathom Events was selling tickets for a 100th birthday celebration that would have been shown in theatres next month but I imagine it's either being canceled or will become a tribute special much like the Golden Girls compilation they did earlier this year.

By sheer coincidence, I happened to watch Guess Who's Coming To Dinner for the first time last night. Poitier was a true trailblazer.

His 1967 might be one of the best years for any actor in film history. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?, To Sir with Love, and In the Heat of the Night. Many actors have two classics in one year but very rarely three.
