Eleanor Roosevelt, Juanita Hardy, and Sidney Poitier.

Born in Miami Florida (his family was visiting) and living most of his life in the Bahamas (where his entire family lived), Sidney Poitier had dual citizenship. He was the youngest of 7 children: His mother was Evelyn (Outten) Poitier and his father was Reginald James Poitier. They owned a farm and Reginald also worked as a cab driver. An interesting note to the life of this amazing man: He was born in Miami (2 months early) because his parents were selling farm produce most weekends in Miami. Because of this twist of fate, he had US citizenship, making it easier to pursue his career later in life. When he was 15, he moved to Miami and lived with an older brother. It was there, while working as a dishwasher, that a waiter in the restaurant taught him to read from a newspaper. His first acting job came after WW2. (scroll down to read about his long and storied career) Mr Poitier was married to Juanita Hardy (there is a photo of her with him and Eleanor Roosevelt below) from 1950 through 1965. They had 4 daughters - Beverly, Pamela, Sherri, and Gina. He also had a 9 yr affair with actress Diahann Carroll. In 1976, he married a Canadian actress - Joanna Shimkus - and they remained married until the day he died. They had 2 daughters - Anika and Sydney Tamila. When he died at the age of 94, he had eight grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. See much more about his life, his acting roles, and his activism by scrolling through this biography.
