To the best of my memory, my first crush was Sidney Poitier. It could have been James Stacy on "Lancer," the old Western, but I believe it was Sidney. I thought he was so handsome and elegant, the epitomy of a real man. Since young childhood and through the years, anytime "To Sir With Love," "Lilies of the Field," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "The Defiant Ones" or any other Poitier movie came on I have been glued to the TV if possible. Even his elderly self makes my heart go pitter-patter! I felt so lucky when early this a.m. while changing channels trying to find something to get me through the last few hours of medical transcription I came across "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" just coming on. Sidney plus Spencer Tracy AND Katherine Hepburn. Delicious!
Sometimes I think we were separated at birth, Jan...I adored Sidney in To Sir With Love and 'dinner'. I think my heart belonged to Peter Lawford though...I loved that gray hair.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm the triplet sister too! I was just going to say how much we seem to be alike. Sidney has had my heart since I was about 11 years old.
