Audrey and Sidney - a Class of Their Own
Two stars of a former age
they were a class of their own
superlatives cover them all over
bound for stardom before been known
Firstly a real lady of regal renown
Ms. Hepburn indeed Audrey by name
this lady was an actress so lovely
so attractive even before her true fame
'Breakfast in Tiffanys' and 'Funny Face'
fab movies along with 'Roman Holiday'
Belgium born in '29, passed away in '93
such a loss at 63, still with memories today
Now to make the perfect movie match
Sidney Poitier comes on the scene
one extraordinary human being indeed
and a mighty fine actor to have seen
So influential in so many movies
bringing hope to those of his colour
breaking the racial barriers of his day
such inspiration fully technicolor
'Guess who's coming to dinner'
the movie that brought SP fame
I love it, love to watch it again
renowned for making his name
(Sidney Poitier (1927-2022)
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993)
Some thoughts on two of the finest movie stars and human beings who walked this earth, so just some thoughts on the highlights of their lives.)
