Viola Davis, Tyler Perry and the rest of Hollywood are mourning the loss of Sir Sidney Poitier.
"This is a big one. No words can describe how your work radically shifted my life," Viola Davis began."The dignity, normalcy, strength, excellence and sheer electricity you brought to your roles showed us that we, as Black folks, mattered!!!"
"I had just won an award and he and Helen Mirren were walking through the kitchen to the stage to present. When I have an overload of adrenaline it has an adverse affect. I can’t bend my knees," she recalled."So, there I am with my heels and an award in my hands, shell shocked and sweaty, GLARING at the two of them. I was searching for the one word to say but couldn’t remember any.
