December 19th is Cicely Tyson Day!!! "Cicely Tyson was born in New York City on December 19, 1924 (though some say 1933 and most say it's unsure). While building her acting career, Tyson took a stand about the quality and depth of the roles she would accept. Though this meant she sometimes didn't work, Tyson still became a successful actress. She has won accolades and awards for her performances on TV, on the stage and in film, with credits including Sounder, Roots, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman and The Help. Tyson has won two Emmy Awards and a Tony Award, among other honors, over the course of her acting career. She was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1977."
