Atlanta actors and activists share fondest memories of Cicely Tyson
ATLANTA - Legendary stage and screen actress Cicely Tyson made her film debut in the 1957 film Twelve Angry Men and went on to inspire actors and actresses in every decade that followed.
Elisabeth Omilami told FOX 5 Tyson modeled the importance of being an actress and an activist. She shared a photo of her time on the set at Tyler Perry Studios with the late Maya Angelou and Cicely Tyson. It s sad that so many people don t realize this woman represented a standard of acting that we don t see anymore. Sitting at the table with Ms. Tyson in that Tyler Perry movie was one of the highlights of my life. She was a most powerful woman until the day she died, said Tyson.
