That’s sad. The Lilies of the Field is one of my favorite movies. As well as Sneakers.

My mom thought Sidney was just totally da bomb in Lilies of the Field.
I didn't really understand at the time.

He won the Best Actor award because he was simply THE BEST ACTOR of all that year. Not because he was the “Best black actor.”
Not like today’s black whiners.

Yes,that's one of the films whose title I couldn't think of a minute ago.Another I just thought of is Raisin In The Sun. IIRC he was in the original Cry,The Beloved Country. The remake,starring James Earl Jones,is one of my very favorite films.But I've read that the original was even better.I think I'll make it a point to see it.

It was watching him in Lilies of the Field, everything about him, how he moved, how he filled the screen, that I whispered to myself “Now, THAT is a movie star!!”

I completely forgot he was in Sneakers. Been a while. What a stellar cast.
