Hello again fans of the silver screen, my latest 'Movie Memories' article for Lanarkshire Live is dedicated to the memory of cinema icon Sidney Poitier, with a belated thank you to Lulu for supplying the stills from To Sir With Love.
Sidney Poitier was a native of Cat Island in the Bahamas and born two months prematurely when his parents were visiting Miami to sell tomatoes.
His early years were characterised by poverty and deprivation. At 18, he moved to New York, took on menial jobs and slept in a bus terminal toilet.
