'Sidney epitomized what a man should be.'
Halle Berry recently paid tribute to Poitier in a personal and quite touching essay forIn the essay, Berry reflects on how she admired Poitier since she was young, when her parents broke up as her father struggled with alcoholism."As imperfect as my dad was, as deep of a wedge as his fury drove between us, I loved him, missed him, longed to have him close," she says.
In the essay, Berry also writes about seeing Poitier in the audience when she became the first Black woman to win Best Actress in 2002."As I concluded my rambling speech I looked up and saw dear Sidney, high in the balcony seemingly with a halo surrounding him, looking over me as a proud father would," she wrote."Our paths had crossed all those years earlier when I, wide-eyed and frizzy-headed, watched him in awe from my living-room sofa.
