Very informative video. He was indeed gorgeous. Perfect cheekbones and bone structure. He was taken advantage of to some extent. This is a case where the fast life moved too fast. Caught up with him at too young an age.
AIDS was so tragic. It devastated a generation. One of the youngest and earliest victims was a 16yr old from NYC. In the early 60’s, the doctors couldn’t figure out what kind of “flu” he had. They saved samples from him and when the AIDS epidemic broke out, those doctors remembered this patient. They checked his samples and he had AIDS. Epidemiologists think AIDS has been with us for centuries but never became an epidemic until the general public began having sex with multiple partners. 😢
I wish there was more known about him. His identity is such a mystery. He was definitely an attractive man by societal standards. I'd dare say that the reason he was considered attractive by mainstream society is because his features mimic European features in his bone structure and the blue contacts further gave that illusion which I don't think was necessary. If anything the unnatural looking contacts may have caught attention but they detracted from his natural handsomeness. I think a lot of black people bought into the idea of seeing European standards as more attractive and because of that some of our people tried to assimilate to those standards but in the end it came across like a costume. It would have been great to see more images of him in all of his natural African glory.
He was sold for pennies by his poor family in Brazil by a sick twisted black male actor name Raymond who pimped him out to other sick down low men in Hollywood
He was hauntingly beautiful. So sad. He looks like Phillip Michael Thomas but even better looking.. the young Stedman from 5 Star also looked a bit like him.

WHAT HAPPENED TO STERLING WAS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE JUST LIKE HIM IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY. NOT EVEN BEAUTY CAN SAVE YOU FROM TRAGEDY.
He was a Handsome Man. Sad that his life was cut short.
He looked at least 35-40 years old in some of those pics, but still handsome!
Yep he was born in 1949, so he was about mid-late 30s when he died
@@joymartin4640 You are correct about his birth year💜✨️🕊

Never heard of him before. Living the fast life will always catch up to you. So sad, a young 26...
The aids pandemic was crazy
Very Handsome man and he definitely used what he had to get what he wanted. Great video!

Yes it was called “bone cancer” because it ate to the bone

He was in THE WIZ movie with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson

The blue of his eyes is due to contacts
True, his eyes were brown. Im his only niece. He does have a brother and sister that are still alive😊
On the lowest keys it's giving gay for pay. A doccie on him is needed a true mystery.
Thanks for watching my videos ❤ please like and subscribe
So young and sad. He should not have mess with the LGBT situation. Everyone is straight, but some of them call themselves something they are not.
i enjoy your channel…. keep up the good work ❤
Thank you 🙏🏽
Born in 1957 impossible; in 1984 he was in Italy, alive
Probably he was born in 1948 or in 1949......in 1984 he was young but he didn't show to be 26 years old to me
Some people say he passed away in '92
It’s easy now to find out, where he was born. It would be a good movie. Oscar 🎉
I know where he was born...Im his only niece. He has one sister and brother still alive😊
@@Polished_Soul33why lie you ain’t his niece
