Cybil Shephard,Dorothy Stratten.That's worth being alive for right there--to experience those two in their prime.Another person--like Betty White--who got the roll of the dice to go their way.

POITIER DEAD AT 94

Sidney Poitier dead at 94."In the Heat of the Night" was a great movie--a liberal sh*tfest no doubt--but I enjoyed Rod Steiger and the atmosphere of the small town and all the scenes.You FEEL as if you were in that Southern locale--even today.

Obviously,the plot of the movie is to show a "modern" black guy embarrass an uneducated,White sheriff,but nothing in Hollywood is
that simple. The purpose of making such a film is to break the 1967 audience's stereotype of who's intelligent and who isn't--racially.

But just stating it as being true in a film,doesn't mean it's so in real life.Yes,there are singular instances of Thomas Sowell's out there--but the vast majority of blacks are neither Sowells or Virgil Tibbs-like.There are also singular instances of thuglike Whites,but the overwhelming plurality of us are hardworking and law abiding--which Hollywood doesn't care about--and probably even despises.

Still,Poitier's passing should be worth a few minutes on nnn.
