Sidney Poitier, the trailblazing leading man who in the Civil Rights era loomed as large as an inspirational figure as he did a movie star, died Thursday. He was 94. A source close to the family confirmed his death to NBC News on Friday after the Bahamian Minister of Foreign Affairs first shared the news. Yahoo Entertainment has reached out to a Poitier rep for a statement. In 1964, Poitier became the first African American to win the Best Actor Oscar. www.yahoo.com/entertainment/sidney-poitier-obituary-death-94-civil-rights-pioneer-oscar-winner-161341657.html

He lived a long life, and apparently a successful one.
