It was so sad when he died; this man was such a beacon for so many and such a wonderful actor. He definitely broke barriers and what an elegant man! Loved him. (from Sandi)
Sidney was the first actor I fell in love with. He was so amazing on screen. I was so proud of the Actor he was. He made me proud to be of African descent. I grieved for him as a family member or close friend would have. My condolences to his family.
In the time that Sidney Poitier was working in movies, is what made him peerless as an actor/director. Growing up watching his films was nothing short of inspirational and jaw-dropping.
"It's always a challenge when you're carrying other people's dream"... I personally felt that. It explains a lot I didn't understand then but I get now with my own kid.
Oh man, how I loved Mr. Poitier! ❤️❤️❤️ I named my youngest son after him, and oh how glad I am that I did. His film legacy will last forever, and he had integrity to pass on to others. What a gift God gave to us who are fans, and also to those who are not. The mindset to pick and choose roles that reveal his truth: Priceless. 🕊️💔 Rest In Peace, Mr. Sidney Poitier... 🕊️❤️❤️😘💋❤️❤️
In the 1980s, when I was working at Columbia Pictures, Mr. Poitier had an office on the lot. We would pass one another often going our separate ways. You have NEVER been smiled at until you have been smiled at by Sidney Poitier. It was a big, warm, kind and genuine smile. I treasure it always.
When I was little I watched old movies with my parents. "Guess who's coming to dinner" was one of my favorite movies. He is a legend and will be missed.
This segment was simply wonderful.Queen O stated that she gets that she carries other people dreams on her shoulders.Mr. Poitiers life is truly extranodary and legacy to respect and be proud of. Thanks for showing us what extraordinary is in America. Goddess Gayle your show is so profoundly Mind-blowing and informative to viewers all over the world. Dr.Dixon
I can remember as a young white girl seeing Guess Whose Coming to Dinner, and feeling so deeply moved with compassion and hope for a world which at that time seemed to be drawing lines between races and cultures. Plus I loved his voice, so smooth like butter. Thank you to Oprah et. al. who will bring this angel back to earth again for our edification and pleasure.
@@onelevel2346 Excuse me! He showed us here in the Caribbean that we can achieve greatness. As a black man he showed that we don't have to accept demeaning roles in Hollywood. Didnt you hear that he refused the role of 750.00 per week because of that storyline when he was only working for 75.00 per week? I think you should revisit this interview. You obviously was not paying attention.
I’m 60, and to watch him as I grow up in all the wonderful movies he did, is a honor. He blessed soooo many of us who barley saw someone who look like us play rolls that mostly went to white people. He, gave, us, hope! He was and is a true icon. Peace and Blessing to all. I Love U Sidney. I Love U All.
Gayle King has not an ounce of shine when compared to the gracious glow of love of these magnificent daughters. And did Oprah lie about her feelings for Maya Angelou, or is it more platitudes falling from her mouth that she perceives as wisdom when she speaks of Sir Sidney Poitier. Thank you the Sisters Poitier for your loving memories of fact, of a dear man beloved by so many. A life well lived, a memory treasured. A man blessed beyond imaging by a family whom he loved, above celerity and who loved in return. Rest in Peace Sir Sidney.
Wow. And here I was thinking that I was the only one that ran around calling him my boyfriend!!! I miss his presence and inspirational career!! Great job, Oprah!!
The line I would've written for the Dad to counter Sidney's character. In America they will always see you as a coloured man. Rest in Power Sidney. You did well.
He impacted my family, I am white and I didn't know any one black. I knew he was just like me in all the ways that mattered so he became a man that made my family laugh and we watched Lillies of the field and it has been my childhood favorite.
I would like to watch this and hear about Mr Poitier and even catch a glimpse of his daughters. But I can not because Oprah is involved. Maybe someday his daughters will do another piece that is solely produced by the family or with someone else. After what Oprah tried with Michael Jackson and his family after his passing, I made a vow that I would never set eyes upon her or ever listen to the sound of her voice ever again. When she leaves this earth, it will be a great day for humanity. Rest in Peace Mr Poitier. You were a once in a lifetime brilliant light ✨🌟💙🙏🏽
Its too bad diane carroll isn’t still with us to chime in on his character. Who people are in movies is one thing. Their character in real life is sometimes something else.
The way he treated Diahann Carroll was despicable. He pressured her to leave her husband and when she did, Sidney refused to end his marriage to be with her. I read Diahann’s memoir and it made me see Sidney as a user.
i believe they said there were many more hours of interviews beyond the Master Class and therefore the family consented to it. Oprah would never have broken a promise to a man she so revered.
Then make yours , you will be surprised to see people will still say wrong headline , you will never do something that can satisfying everyone, you will choose a headline that makes you happy as the creator ,
His integrity came through even in his acting. There will never be another Sidney Poitier. God bless his soul.

Spike Lee stated when he saw this "greatness" on the screen, he knew immediately he wanted to be a part of the Arts
Quite simply one of the greatest to ever grace the screen, greatly missed but what a light .
Hello there Maggie👋
"It's always a challenge when you're carrying other people's dream"... I personally felt that. It explains a lot I didn't understand then but I get now with my own kid.
He was an incredible man and actor. I've seen all his movies more than once. RIP 🙏🏽♥️🌹🕊️

Rest In Peace, Mr. Sidney Poitier... 🕊️❤️❤️😘💋❤️❤️
Sidney was and is a powerful role model in my life. He shook me to my core and I'm a better human being because of his example.
As Mr Poitier was from the Catibbean we are proud of what he has achieved. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

He was such great man and actor
I love Sidney. Such a huge heart and a huge talent
A national treasure!
I’m not crying. 😭
I have watched all of his movies what a great actor 😢
A real gentleman.. a wonderful role model for men everywhere ✨️
How is he a role model - this I don't agree

Beautiful man and wonderful actor.
Looking forward to seeing this documentary of Mr. Poitier
Sidney Poitier lesson was THAT DIGNITY has nothing to do with the color of your SKIN 🖤
I think I cried a lot through To Sir with Love and even wrote a letter to him. ❤
An exceptional moving tribute to a wonderful human being!
How is he wonderful? Did you know him. What did he do for his people
This gentleman was A VERY GREAT ACTOR and I very much enjoyed his role in to SIR WITH LOVE!
Hey there Paula👋
The greatest "SIR" to ever grace the planet 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
More than just an actor, a true genius and humanitarian.
Sidney was the man. So talented, such elegance and grace.
One of the greatest. Miss you, Sidney. 😞🙏💚
The impeccable Sidney Poitier.....

He, gave, us, hope! He was and is a true icon. Peace and Blessing to all. I Love U Sidney. I Love U All.
Yes. Well deserved illumination of an extraordinary man.
Always have Loved Sidney Poitier even as a child I would stay up late if one of his movies was on tv
Hello Debra👋
Definitely! My mother loved him too and we watched everything he was in. (from Sandi)
Loved this man from the moment i saw him in Raisin in the sun…😢
Beautiful human being. Thank You.

Wrong title for this video, but amazing actor who deserves to be fully celebrated
Thank you for sharing. He was a great man!!!!
Amazing 🤩 Many Thanks for sharing this excellent documentary 🏆
He was a regular at my former place of employment. He was a class act and I was so sad when he passed away.
I love that slap scene! I could watch it forever!
Wow. And here I was thinking that I was the only one that ran around calling him my boyfriend!!! I miss his presence and inspirational career!! Great job, Oprah!!
When I heard how old he was? I was so happy. 🎉 He made it
Such a great interview.
💯💕 Mr . Poitier’s his life speaks his movies love and always teaching us do better
Love his work when I saw A Raisin In The Sun one of my favorite plays I bought the same book twice
The line I would've written for the Dad to counter Sidney's character. In America they will always see you as a coloured man. Rest in Power Sidney. You did well.
He impacted my family, I am white and I didn't know any one black. I knew he was just like me in all the ways that mattered so he became a man that made my family laugh and we watched Lillies of the field and it has been my childhood favorite.
This segment brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful piece.
Underrated King NUFFSAID
Wow, Super Awesome Story and Life.
Hello there Linda👋
My mother told me so much about him , it was like I actually knew him.
A life well lived and a life that did well for others.
This is such a beautiful tribute to an apparently beautiful guy
Beautiful Interview very Warm and Classy!
beautiful sisters❤
A model for a black man, gentle, clever, deeply rooted in his own history, and corageous to break barriers. A Beautiful Life.
He's an icon
"Amazing moment in History"
Amazing 🙏🏽
Pamela looks just like her Dad. Mr. Poitier was an awesome actor.
Yes she does. And it’s wonderful to see her face.
To sirwithlove one of my all time favorite movies
"Those school-girl days of telling tells and biting nails are gone." sigh...."But how do you thank someone who's taken you from crayons to perfume."
So looking forward to this film on Mr. Poitier.
Oh i cant wait... ❤❤❤
Hello Geraldine👋
Having color is BEAUTIFUL.
Oprah grows more and more gorgeous with age. She has the most stunning hair. Sidney is absolutely incandescent 🙌🏾✨🙏🏾
Tell it. That is all of her hair too.
The brave women of Iran are sacrificing their lives on the streets against oppression and justice. Please be our voice. #MahsaAmini
When you feel no one is listening you throw it out there. God bless.
HE WAS A HANDSOME MAN....AMAZING ACTOR ...NICE VOICE
I read his story
Lady O and Gayle look amazing to be in their late 60,s
Always a challenge when your carrying other people's dreams. That's what happened to Michael and Whitney. Too heavy a burden. Even with family.
No comment. Time will tell the story and let us know his true impact
🇧🇸🇧🇸STAND UP 🇧🇸🇧🇸
Sir Sidney...RIP
The slap that was heard around the world
Hello there Angela👋
Yes that slap was WELL done!

notice how it turns into all about Oprah
AMAZING
This looks rly good
rip Sidney
Its too bad diane carroll isn’t still with us to chime in on his character. Who people are in movies is one thing. Their character in real life is sometimes something else.
Gayle & Oprah have been together for years.
The way he treated Diahann Carroll was despicable. He pressured her to leave her husband and when she did, Sidney refused to end his marriage to be with her. I read Diahann’s memoir and it made me see Sidney as a user.
I was thinking abt that watching the movie, it was told in a very very vaguely way…. Thanks for sharing.
Oprah's hair is beautiful 💜
Before Denzel Washington there was Sidney Poitier.
Never thought about all the holidays one goes through without their parents and the emptiness one most likely feels on every holiday, birthday, ....
8:58 - 9:00 Just curious Oprah, what about Maya Angelou?
Was Mister Poitier ever honored by the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts
Which is the best book read about Mr. Poitier?
"THE MEASURE OF A MAN" It's also in audio. It was on youtube, wondering if it's still there.
Wrong title for this video. It’s on Sidney Poitier
Respect and admiration is what I feel for Mr. Poitier.
Oprah and Gayle should at least pronounce his name properly.
I love to the movie Brother John, another great movie was Mr. Dearborn.
Why did she break her promise to Sidney Poitier? If he only wanted his Master Class shown once why not honor that?
i believe they said there were many more hours of interviews beyond the Master Class and therefore the family consented to it. Oprah would never have broken a promise to a man she so revered.
Sidney's daughter Sidney looks like her dad more except she's the light skin Sidney...📌
It would be nice if presenters could pronounce his (French) name correctly
Wrong headline for this video.
Then make yours , you will be surprised to see people will still say wrong headline , you will never do something that can satisfying everyone, you will choose a headline that makes you happy as the creator ,
Amen. Amen. A-men, amen, amen. ❤️🌹
OPRAH LIKE HIM BECAUSE HE IS AQUARIUS LIKE HER!!!!!!!
