Good that you have honored her with this nice Epitaph. I enjoyed reading it. I can't place her in any film right off hand, but I am sure that I have seen her perform before just can't recall right now. Congrats on your winning work. Sara

Cicely Tyson was a groundbreaking actor whose portrayals of strong black women did so much for race relations and civil rights awareness in America during her career. Well done, Alexis, congrats for your win ~ John
