Sidney Poitier is being remembered Friday as “an absolute legend” — and so much more — in (and by) the Hollywood acting community.
“What a landmark actor. One of a kind,” Jeffrey Wright, the star of HBO’s “Westworld,” posted in his Twitter tribute. “What a beautiful, gracious, warm, genuinely regal man.”
“He showed us how to reach for the stars,” Whoopi Goldberg wrote.
“Icon. Iconoclast. Barrier breaker. Pioneer. Hero. Legend. All time great,” Josh Gad tweeted. “Goodbye to one of the most important and extraordinary Actors in the history of our industry. Thank you for shattering glass ceilings and paving new roads.”
