Cicely Tyson, the pioneering Black actor who gained an Oscar nomination for her role as the sharecropper's wife in Sounder, a Tony Award in 2013 at age 88 and touched TV viewers' hearts in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, died Thursday, January 28, at age 96. Tyson was considered one of the ground-breaking actresses of her time. She used her career to illuminate the humanity in Black people. The roles she played reflected her values and no role was too small for this talented actress. Tyson's memoir, "Just as I Am," was published on January 26, 2021, just two days before she died. In her personal life, Tyson was a staunch civil rights activist. Which of the many, many movies or TV shows (only some I have listed here) she appeared in during her long career are you familiar with?

Cloris Leachman, an Oscar-winner for her portrayal of a lonely housewife in The Last Picture Show and a comedic delight as the fearsome Frau Blucher in Young Frankenstein and self-absorbed neighbour Phyllis on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, died Wednesday, January 27, at the age of 94. A character actor of extraordinary range, Leachman defied typecasting, With a single look she had the ability to break your heart or make you laugh until the tears ran down your face. One of her most famous roles was Phyllis Lindstrom on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Phyllis was so unexpectedly engaging that Leachman starred in a spinoff series of her own, "Phyllis," which ran on CBS from 1975 to 1977. Which of her many movies or TV shows (I have only listed some) are you familiar with?
