An American motion-picture actor, who was born on February 20, 1927 in Miami, Florida, United States. Poitier began acting with the American Negro Theatre and made his movie debut in 1950 with a featured role in No Way Out, one of Hollywood's first films on racial bigotry. His next important credit was Blackboard Jungle (1955). The Defiant Ones (1958) brought Poitier an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of an escaped convict. He was influential in getting the prize-winning Lorraine Hansberry play A Raisin in the Sun, in which he starred, produced on stage (1959) and on screen (1961). Poitier won an Oscar for Lilies of the Field. Poitier was hailed as the box-office star of 1967 for his charismatic work on three popular films: In the Heat of the Night; To Sir, with Love; and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. He did not appear in any movies from 1976 to 1987, preferring to direct (Buck and the Preacher, 1972; Uptown Saturday Night, 1974, and its sequel Let's Do It Again, 1975; and Stir Crazy, 1980). He played civil-rights lawyer and Supreme Court justice in the 1991 Emmy Award-winning television miniseries Separate but Equal. Marshall was the lawyer who successfully argued in Brown v. Board of Education that the Separate but Equal doctrine was unconstitutional.
