I watched a Hallmark Adaptation " A Christmas Carol" named Ms. Scrooge featuring her (and Katherine Helmond) last month.

She lived a long life may she RIP

2021 is dropping legends...

I met the great Lady at my nephew's graduation from Morehouse. To this day I kick myself for not asking her why Bill Cosby is credited for being the first Black to star in a weekly series when she was the first Black to star in a weekly series in Eastside Westside 1963,64 with George C Scott, Linden Chiles, John McMartin, and Elizabeth Wilson. RIP Lady Tyson
Quote:
East Side/West Side is an American drama series starring George C. Scott, Elizabeth Wilson, Cicely Tyson, and later on, Linden Chiles. The series aired for one season (1963–64) and was shown Monday nights on CBS.

Set in New York City, the show explored issues of urban life, some of them grim. Though it won critical praise, it also generated some controversy. TV Guide ranked it #6 on their 2013 list of 60 shows that were "Cancelled Too Soon".

And she wore braids and a natural way back when. LINK

In addition she married another Black icon Miles Davis.

Mitch "Blood" Green gives his condolences.

He would call Iron Mike "Meechelle Cicely Tyson" and other things, hrm. And Mitch even lasted 12 rounds w/ Mike, so it's best to have a hard head if you're gonna say what he said, tho Mike did KO him in the street after they met at a men's haberdashery by chance once.
