Meet An “Amazing” Whose Dynamic Life Merits Kudos

(Vanity Fair)

Cicely Tyson, at 96, mere days before her passing, was giving yet another dynamic interview with her usual verve. She was every bit as vibrant and beautiful as she was in her early 20s when she was discovered by a photographer for Ebony Magazine, which launched her modeling career. Modeling quickly morphed into a phenomenal acting career, which Cicely pursued year in, year out, on stage, television and in feature films.

Most recently, even through the pandemic, Cicely had a recurring role in the TV series "Cherish The Day," and portrayed Alice in the feature film, "A Fall From Grace." Her support of civil rights, along with her accolades and awards too numerous to include here, are well known. Suffice it to say that Cicely is a shining example of “happy, healthy – dead” in that she lived a full rich life of passion and purpose right up until her exit from this mortal plane. Thank you, Cicely, for your brilliant inspiration.
