Oscar-winning actor Sidney Poitier has died at age 94.
According to the AP, Latrae Rahming, the Director of Communications for the Prime Minister of Bahamas, confirmed on Friday (January 7th) that Poitier died at his home in Los Angeles.
Poitier's great friend, Harry Belafonte, released a statement, which said, “For over 80 years, Sidney and I laughed, cried and made as much mischief as we could. He was truly my brother and partner in trying to make this world a little better. He certainly made mine a whole lot better.”
