Her manager Larry Thompson confirmed the news by did not provide details of her death. R.I.P. Ms. Tyson. I'm sure we'll count this as a COVID death.

Yes. If I had to guess, I would have guessed she was in her mid-70s.

I liked her in Miss Jane Pittman.
To: EdnaMode
During her most famous period 70’s and early 80’s, it was never quite clear what her exact age was. Cicely was from the old school of theater, in her belief that the fans don’t need to know every single thing about you. There should always be some air of mystery or the exotic about a movie star.
To: EdnaMode
The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman One of the best films ever made, and certainly the best one made on slavery and its aftermath. Eschewed cartoonish portrayals in black and white. So real it seemed like a documentary to me when I first saw it as a child.

Me too. But Miles Davis, one of her husbands? I think? Was born in 1925, close to her birthdate.

Always seemed like a classy guy in public, at least. I really didn’t know much about him.
