Cicely Tyson is DEAD TO ME!

Betty White, you in danguh, girl...

That’s two

Yeah, two threads (actually three now).

But this is the first thread to use the correct format and also has an elegant photo.

I head Patti LaBelle is trying to get her claws on all those wigs.

"Just my style, if I can get that funk smell out of 'em."

Such a class act.

So young...

kisses, op!

She should have won the Oscar.

Yes, r4.

three, r2.

She was beautiful.

four now, r4

You've forgotten actor Gregory Sierra of TV's "Barney Miller."

A fashion icon.

Pioneering? What about Ethel Waters, Ruby Dee, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Pearl Bailey, Diahann Carroll, Leslie Uggams and Diana Sands?

SAD.

Awww, RIP.

Shhhhhhhad.

I don't have much time left either!

[quote] Pioneering? What about Ethel Waters, Ruby Dee, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Pearl Bailey, Diahann Carroll, Leslie Uggams and Diana Sands?

She was just the second (or third) Black actress nominated for the Best Actress Oscar. And she was the FIRST to do it without f*cking Otto Preminger or Berry Gordy. No Black actress has enjoyed her staggering longevity on the stage OR screen. She is the reason Oprah gave the world "Oprah's Legends Ball" -- which, by itself, ensures her spot in Heaven. She was enormously talented, the epitome of grace, and yes, PIONEERING.

[Quote]Pioneering? What about Ethel Waters

Coincidentally, Cicely's first movie was with Ethel Waters.

She was excellent in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.

Shishaly Tyshon.

[quote] She was excellent in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.

She was excellent in EVERYTHING. She never gave anything less than a brilliant performance.

Can't believe you whores started FIVE threads on her passing.

Anyway, she was FAB.

I love Cicely Tyson as Sipsey in Fried Green Tomatoes. She sort of operates in the background of the main action and then has a (literal) knock-out at the end when she’s revealed as Frank’s killer. And then she also gets to serve the barbecued remains of her victim to the detective looking for him.

R22 If "Miss Jane Pittman" had been a wide release, she would've won the Academy Award.

R20 Dandridge was the first black actress nominated for Best Actress. Diahann Carroll the first to play the title character in a sitcom. Leslie Uggams had her own variety show and Diana Sands played Doris originally conceived as white on Broadway in The Owl and the Pussycat and Pearl bailey played Dolly Gallagher Levi on Broadway in Hello Dolly. The doors were already opened and the roads were already paved for Miss Tyson. No disrespect

Very recent interview promoting her new memoir. RIP

Spoiler alert, R26!

"The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" won 9 Emmys, including Best Actress in a Special. It was a TV movie.

No one has mentioned "Sounder?" I thought that was her greatest performance. She was perfect in it and was nominated for the Oscar. The competition that year was pretty heavy; Diane Ross in "Lady Sings The Blues", Liza Minnelli in "Cabaret", Maggie Smith in "Travels With My Aunt", Liv Ullman in "The Emigrants." Supposedly it was a showdown between just two nominees, Ross and Minnelli. Minnelli won, but you know who SHOULD have won? Cicely Tyson. I thought she deserved more that Ross or Minnelli, and it would have been such a historic moment; the first black woman to win a Best Actress Oscar. The Academy really should have given the award to her. She was gypped.

American premiere of Genet's "The Blacks", 1961.

Tamara, I wish I could karate-chop you in your damn face. Cicely Tyson was an ACTRESS. It is disrespectful to suggest that Cicely Tyson's searing portrayals of authentic black women was somehow diminished because of all the mulatto-type, glamour girl entertainers who may have achieved mainstream notoriety before her.

I thought she was at least 10 years younger. She was a talented actress. RIP Cicely.

East Side / West Side

I always picture her when the Soft Butch Sous Chef side character “Anna Harkness, Esq.” (Jamyra’s attorney) shows up on DL.

Cicely Tyson was brave. She let herself be old or ugly to be authentic. (unlike many of the above mentioned actresses) Great actress who made bold choices.

And damn, that girl looked good to the end.

[quote]She let herself be old or ugly to be authentic.

But no pictures of that in this thread. She was 96 fucking years old!

I posted this in the other Cicley thread, too, so I'll let you all know that we apparently have a witch among us! Reply 197 in the Cloris Leachman thread fucking killed Cicley!!

"Celebrities die in threes. My next three celebrity death predictions are Cicely Tyson, Marion Ross, and Shirley Jones"

The was posted last night at 8:59 PM and now Cicley is dead. Someone warn Marion & Shirley that a DL poster is trying to kill them!

There is no "correct format," there's just the insistence on using a meme that was out of date a decade ago.

It's kind of creepy how some Dataloungers create fake rules and then spend years haranguing people for not following those fake rules. Half of our celebrity death threads are now little shits like R4 and R42 who obviously want the thread thread to be all about them.

Or they're like longtime troll BHmanny using the word "girl" about Cicely Tyson in hopes of starting a flamewar.

So many of you are pathetic.

i love her!

Has Susan Dey sent her condolences?

R34 After Sounder(1972) she appeared in just 7 movies over the next 20 years: The Blue Bird. The River Niger, A Hero Ain't Nothing But a Sandwich, The Concord...Airport 79, Bustin' Loose and Fried Green Tomatoes not much for an ACTRESS. After that she was rarely a lead in any theatrical films.

^ Sorry overstated; just 6 theatrical releases actually between 1973 and 1996 Why so few?

R20 You are right as always, she was pioneer: She was among the first black characters in the Airport movie series: Concorde...Airport 79 aka Love Boat in the Air with such major talents as Jimmy JJ Walker, Martha Raye, Charo, John Davidson, Robert Wagner and Susan Blakely. Maybe she should have slept with Otto Preminger or Berry Gordy. See R46

Agreed. I F&F all tribute threads that do not comply with the esteemed and mandatory Datalounge honorific:

Is this a joke? Do I really need to explain why a Black actress only had a few threatrical film credits in the 70s? Cicely Tyson worked as much as any Black actress of her generation. And she did it at a relative disadvantage; she didn't have the kind of miscegenated appearance that the majority culture demanded of a Black woman to be deemed attractive -- and she didn't sing. Cicely was principled and refused to take roles that she thought were demeaning to Black women.

There was a PBS series that premiered last week -- "How It Feels To Be Free" -- that chronicled her career, artistic choices and cultural influence.

She was tweeting a few hours before she passed. RIP.

Yassssss!!!! This has just secured the Best Actress Oscar for me. I'ma guilt trip the hell out of the Academy and make them give me the Oscar.

RIP Miss Cicely. You were an icon and you truly suffered. Although not as much as I have for my craft.

[quote]^ Sorry overstated; just 6 theatrical releases actually between 1973 and 1996 Why so few?

She did a tremendous amount of stage work where I imagine she was offered much more interesting parts and talented people to work with.

[quote]She was beautiful.

No, that she was not. A pretty fine actress, but a bit too busy in most of her performances. She was special, married to Miles Davis and Billy Dee Williams. An interesting life. Some great achievements. Cicely was a bit like Phylicia Rashad - except in constant bad wigs. Far too grand and actressy.

[quote] She did a tremendous amount of stage work where I imagine she was offered much more interesting parts and talented people to work with.

In 2013, she won the Tony for Best Actress for a revival of The Trip to Bountiful when she was 88. The next year she played the same part in a TV movie based on that production, which sadly wasn't as good as the stage version.

Here's the clip of Cicely Tyson losing the Oscar to Liza Minnelli. Miss Ross looks fantastic! Presenter Raquel Welch has nice tits.

I don't think Cicely was every married to Billy Dee Williams. He was married to his first wife during the time Wikipedia says he and Cicely were married. Besides, she was 13 years older than him.

*ever married

Her death is being covered heavily this morning by the local stations here in NYC. CBS2 just included a clip from her pastor at The Abyssinian Baptist Church saying "She was clearly a diva. But a diva with grace."

I liked that.

Damn, she was just on CBS promoting her memoir the other day looking like she’d outlive us all. I guess with this book she felt work her was done. RIP to a very classy lady.

LOVED LOVED LOVE HER.... major bummed out... she was one of those few people in the world who i would loved to have spent time with and who i could listen to (like jane fonda) about anything for hours just to listen to her voice and experience and presence....

she was also a civil rights fighter as well....

a great long life well lived, something to aspire to and hope for!

[quote] I don't think Cicely was every married to Billy Dee Williams. He was married to his first wife during the time Wikipedia says he and Cicely were married. Besides, she was 13 years older than him.

You are correct. She was NOT married to Billy Dee Williams.

Billy Crystal?

Loved her wigs

Who will play her in her biopic? Viola or Jen Hudson?

Gabourey Sibide, R65

Miss R43 needs to fuck herself with a rusty lead pipe.

R51 Not to burst your bubble but either her team was likely tweeting for her, or it was a scheduled tweet.

Not to say it was impossible she did it herself, just that usually, an assistant does all but the most personal of tweets for someone - especially an older person who may not be as tech savvy.

She WAS apparently at Kelly and Ryan's studio the day before she died doing an interview. Did Skeletor Ripa have a hand in her passing?

Saw her in "The Gin Game" with James Earl Jones on Broadway a few years ago. Didn't care for the play itself, but they were great.

SO odd to me, even at her advanced age, that someone can be talking and walking and appearing places and then just pass quietly very very soon afterwards when they seemingly have no disease or afflictions or warning signs...

We all know Ripa doesn't eat solid food. It wouldn't surprise me if she sucked out poor Cicely's remaining life force.

She probably figured that her Kelly & Ryan appearance was the zenith of her career. She had finally reached the pinnacle, so why go on?

Ms. Tyson was scheduled to appear on Kathie Lee Gifford's podcast today. KLG was going to reenact when she asked Martin Short how his (dead) wife was doing. Except this time, Cicely wouldn't have brushed it off politely like Martin did.

Here's a segment of the last interview in her life. RIP, Ms. Cicely Tyson.

Cicely Tyson was BEAUTIFUL without question. She was much more than a 'pretty fine' actress -- when the role allowed she was brilliant. She was never married to Billy Dee Williams. Perhaps she was 'too' grand or 'actressy' because she believed the stories of the Black women she portrayed deserved gusto, dignity and humanity. It is disgraceful that such roles were scarce and she did not often have the opportunity to display the full range of her talent. Her lifetime of accomplishments and her high level of artistry warranted a personal disposition grand and imperious enough to make Phylicia Rashad seem humble, and yet by all accounts she was warm, generous and gracious.

R54, I don't know why you bothered to post in this thread. Your views are clearly in the minority and you don't appear to know much about her. There are multitudes of threads at Datalounge devoted to mediocre talent who you may justifiably damn with faint praise...find one.

[quote] SO odd to me, even at her advanced age, that someone can be talking and walking and appearing places and then just pass quietly very very soon afterwards when they seemingly have no disease or afflictions or warning signs...

Honey, 96 years of being a Black woman in Amerikkka makes the 12 Labors of Hercules seem like a yoga class. My sister Cicely lived all the years denied to Lorraine Hansberry, Dorothy Dandridge, Diana Sands, Eartha Kitt, Josephine Premice, Nina Mae McKinney and Gloria Foster.

96!!! I couldn't do it...and believe me, baby, I tried.

How did she end up with Miles Davis? He was a drug addled abusive creep. It seems he was raised by a family of intergenerational women who raised him like he was some kind of prince. When I learned that about him it really ruined his music for me.

Isn't she the one who refused to eat chicken because she thought she owned the trademark?

The library is OPEN! And Miss R75 is READING for the education of the children!

[Quote]How did she end up with Miles Davis? He was a drug addled abusive creep.

R77, Cicely explains it in her interview in r60, at 6:24. She loved him because he was a beautiful and talented soul, and thought she could save him; she also felt she needed someone to save. He was a cheater, very hurtful, and she knew it. But he was the love of her life, and she never again felt that type of love for anyone else.

R80, that gets her demerits from me. He just wasn't a good person - no matter what his "soul" was like. I want women to be smarter than that.

I'm devastated. My heart is just broken. I loved you so much!! You were everything to me! You made me feel loved and seen and valued in a world where there is still a cloak of invisibility for us dark chocolate girls.

I have nothing but respect for this woman.

r43 can suck it.

Wow - she went like we all wish we could go. Doing interviews one day and passing the next day. And at 96 no less. Admirable. RIP.

R50 No joke, just facts. What's the problem? After Sounder in 1972 she appeared in 6 theatrical releases over the next 2 decades. Just saying.

Shut UP, Cleo!!! You know no one was knocking down the doors of Black actresses to offer them work -- FOR DECADES and even today. If you keep it up, I will force you to listen to Viola recite her days-long list of greivances.

But listen to the Queen:

R86 May I direct you to 2 of my previous posts R15 and R20

R86 That's R15 and R28 U C ? I know, I know! And let's not forget Eartha Kit and Abby Lincoln.

And don't forget me and my onscreen mama!

Angela Bassett: "Hello, Ms. Tyson, I'm Angela Bassett and I believe I am the greatest Black actress of all time, better than Viola Davis. Still, it's an honor to meet and work with you..."

[quote]He just wasn't a good person - no matter what his "soul" was like. I want women to be smarter than that.

In one of her last interviews, she said that Miles Davis was "two people".

[quote] [R86] That's [R15] and [R28] U C ? I know, I know! And let's not forget Eartha Kit and Abby Lincoln.

So Cleo -- may I call you Tamara? Oh, I don't care...

Listen, little girl, I only belabor this because I am dead and I have nothing but time on my hands.

Cicely Tyson was a DRAMATIC ACTRESS. She was not a 6 ft tall beautiful Black model with long legs and no training as an actress who made Blaxploitation films -- like you, Pam Grier and Teresa Graves.

She also was not a cafe au lait nightclub/cabaret singing sensation, Broadway belter or recording artist who made the move to stage, TV or film based on her looks and celebrity -- Lena, Dorothy, Eartha, Diahann, Barbara McNair, Abbey Lincoln, Leslie Uggams, Diane Ross or Lonette Mckee

She was not light-skin arm candy to play wife or girlfriend to Black male stars -- Denise Nicholas, Paula Kelly, Ellen Holly, Tracy Reed or Vonetta McGee.

Along with Ruby Dee, Virginia Capers, Claudia McNeil, Diana Sands, Gloria Foster and Rosalind Cash, she was a trained and gifted actress who honed her craft as an actress and whose primary creative expression was acting. For her talent and her labors she was the first of this clique of Black ACTRESSES to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar.

You can clearly see the esteem in which she is held by the community of actors, and in particular, Black actors -- notably THE Black actress, Viola Davis. To equate Cicely Tyson to the woman you continue to cite is to diminish her unique and unprecedented contributions to the culture.

from the linked article:

Also looming over her career were the persistent limitations in an entertainment industry that cast Black women in demeaning roles as prostitutes, drug addicts and housemaids.

Ms. Tyson said she refused many such roles offered to her, vowing to accept only parts of “strength, pride and dignity.” Because of her uncompromising selectivity, she was out of work for months and sometimes years at a stretch, even after her breakthrough, Oscar-nominated performance as a sharecropper’s wife in “Sounder” (1972), a drama set in the Depression-era South.

“I wait for roles — first, to be written for a woman, then, to be written for a black woman,” she told the Entertainment News Service in 1997. “And then I have the audacity to be selective about the kinds of roles I play. I’ve really got three strikes against me. So, aren’t you amazed I’m still here?”

R92 You seem to be judging people on looks, skin tone, and whether they were something other than just actresses. Ruby Dee's career in films started in 1950 and she along with Diana Sands were in the original Broadway cast and film of Raisin in the Sun written by a 24 year old black woman Both women played strong characters throughout their careers. Though she died at age 39 Diana played a very contemporary black woman in 1970s The Landlord and in 1972s Georgia, Georgia from a screenplay by Maya Angelou. Your purview is limited.

Didn't Diana Sands play both Joan of Arc and Hamlet for Joe Papp at The Public Theater in New York?

I think that was Diana Ross...

“Did I ever tell you that Mrs. Otis was Sipsey’s baby sister?”

Oh, baby...don't be that way. I said you were beautiful -- even though I would NOT consider you a true actress. Chile, I am just telling it like it was ( and still is!)

The WHOLE WIDE WORLD's purview is limited when it comes to Black women. Skin tone mattered, looks mattered and the ability to present as not-too-black mattered. It still matters. I am not trying to demean your roll call of highly-assimilated black-but-not-too-black divas. But the truth is the truth. In 2021, Halle Berry is still the only Black actress with a Best Actress Oscar . . . Halle Berry . . .*smh*

The triumph of Cicely Tyson is that she made all that sh*t matter a whole lot less because she was gifted and brilliant in a way that would not be denied. If Viola and Angela and Oprah say it, then you just have to accept it as truth.

It does seem odd that Viola didn't win in Lead for Fences.

I am Oprah. I am the Supreme Authority regarding all things. These are my words, my tribute...luxuriate in it.

This scene from Miss Jane Pittman still makes me cry. Her character defiantly chose to drink from a whites-only water fountain after learning that another character, a young black man, had been killed while participating in a civil rights protest.

Her parents were from the Caribbean islands and not native born Americans. It explains a lot about her.

R99 Well this little girl has he own experiences and thoughts and in order to support my opinion I don't a need a closet racist lesbian like Oprah or a snot sniveling actress who's performance in the boring Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is remarkable for how much she sweats; she's not an actress she's a weather report. Cicely Tyson was not a movie star, she played a lot of cliched old crones and I respect her but to me she's not all that!

R98 ^

R93 If she's so selective than why during the period from 1973 to 1996 when she made only 6 feature films did she choose Bluebird(1976) where she payed a cat and the so bad it's hilarious Concorde Airport 79?

R98 and what would Viola and Oprah say to the New York Film Critics Circle the oldest critics' group that has been handing awards out since 1935 and not until 2018 was a black actress awarded Best Actress: Regina Hall for "Support the Girls" Oprah and Viola are not professional critics who have their reviews published in newspapers and magazines.

Why is miss warwicke pretending to be black women again on this thread? Tedious back and forth, racist and never funny old white man. Shut him down. Beah, Cleo and Tamara my ass. Whenever you see Diana Ross spelled Diane - that old white man who posts as miss warwicke is around. Do you smell shit? I do.

Cicely was dignified and exercised the overexaggerated vowels of some other real hams. But as an actress, she could play any part that afforded her some interest. She prolongs that Jane Pittman moment just as long as you can get away with it. Her instincts were very good. But like many older actresses, she did repeat herself in many performances. Shuffling and muttering slyly from Jane Pittman to The Help. In Sounder she provided some astonishing moments of searing humanity - the kind that Viola attempts. Cicely dared to be great and often was. She would have been the perfect actress for Beloved, if only she were many decades younger.

Eh. maybe she needed the money? Many famous actors and actresses have said they took certain roles just to pay their bills. And they justly had no shame. Betsy Palmer admitted easily she took on Friday the 13th because her pick up truck had died forever and she needed a new one.

Money, perhaps for Concorde, r108. However I don't think anyone went into The Blue Bird thinking it was going to be such a big bomb. It had big names attached and they may have been intrigued by the USA/Russia partnership.

R108 Did she need the money to help pay for Miles drugs?' Hew was heavily into coke, codeine and alcohol during this time.

Did her pussy stink at the end?

Her five minute scene in Oprah's Women of Brewster Place is the best cameo ever given in a movie or TV production.

She eviscerates Robin Givens hotep character in two minutes flat and exposes her for the fraud she is.

That smell is coming from between your legs. I am not Miss Warwick (no "e", Diane). I don't know who is portraying Cleo/Tamara in this evening's performance but I am playing the late, great Beah Richards -- legendary blactress and teller of truth. I may be "never funny" and tedious but I am NOT white.

R98 How does one present ones self as not- too-black? What does that even mean? Was Pearl Bailey or Ella Fitzgerald or Ethel Waters presenting themselves as something other than black? You need a good karate chop to you're solar plexus chile!

If you don't like the Miss Warwick threads, for fuck's sake, don't read them.

R115 The stupidity, pretentiousness and ignorance passing as wit are too much fun to ignore!

If there were 4 or 5 threads on Cicely Tyson I never saw them and I searched. This is the first one I've seen. And this thread I'm writing in will probably disappear in the threads I'm following. What's going on?

Typical Datalounge malcontent. Bitter, disappointed and STARVED for attention -- and in this case, as an added bonus, dyslexic. Ignore her and she will go away.

^^^^Not you, r117. Her.

Wow. Kelly and Ryan had her on.

She was part of the first black actors on Guiding Light married to, on the show, Billy Dee Williams. On the show, she was replaced by Rudy Dee and he was replaced by James Earl Jones! MARY! 4 Iconic black actors in two years on one daytime soap.

^^^First black actors on any soap. Played a nurse married to a doctor. Guiding Light was way ahead of its time and this is why is was #1 or #2 in the ratings for over 2 decades. Top 5 for 4 decades.

After Miles Davis she had an affair with musician Freddie Fender. She went to the CMAs and seemed totally out of place.

Cicely was great in The Marva Collins Story, 1981 TV movie. Loved it.

So far, 2021 has not been a good year for our beloved nonagenarians. First Cloris Leachman, then Cicely Tyson and now Hal Holbrook. Let's hope Betty White, Estelle Parsons and Jane Woodward hang in there.

Tony Bennett and Ann Margaret died this year too. And Larry King. They were all in their nineties. It's to be expected. I find this idea that borrowed time elderly people shouldn't die just because they are celebrities to be a bit juvenile. I did cry when Angela Lansbury died, but I guess I just loved her.

Cicely did an interview with Ryan Seacrest and then died in her sleep. Just like his other girlfriends. RIP.

Aren't you?! You've obviously run out of coherent things to say. Go play the contrarian in the Cloris Leachman thread.

I just know that every time I walked on by her, she'd spit a tooth at me.

A legend.

Give love. Be loving. Stop the hate. Just listen to some of you.... "people."

What a life. She went to sleep and never woke up.

Yes, R134.

Unfortunately that was in 1998.

Since then it all has been reflex.
