SIDNEY POITIER – 93 YEARS OLD

Sidney Poitier made a significant milestone in entertainment history after he won the Academy Award for Best Actor in the 1963 film Lilies of the Field.

Poitier also had a couple of nominations including six for the Golden Globe Award.

The American Film Institute also placed him 22nd for the Greatest Male Stars of classic Hollywood cinema. He’s not only good at acting but he’s also well-versed when it comes to proper money management as well.
