snoop1130 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Cicely Tyson death: Groundbreaking Emmy-winning actress, dies aged 96 By Rachel Brodsky Cicely Tyson, groundbreaking Emmy-winning actress, dies aged 96 (Getty Images) Emmy- and Tony Award-winning actor Cicely Tyson has died, according to a statement from her manager, Larry Thompson. She was 96. “I have managed Miss Tyson’s career for over 40 years, and each year was a privilege and blessing,” Thompson said. “Cicely thought of her new memoir as a Christmas tree decorated with all the ornaments of her personal and professional life. Today she placed the last ornament, a Star, on top of the tree.” A star in theater, television, and film, Tyson famously resisted the sort of Blaxploitation roles Hollywood tried to force many actors of color into in the 1970s.
