Sidney Poitier is one of those people that is like a magnet. As soon as you see him you are drawn to him. I saw him early in the morning just for a few moments. He was with a few other people walking through the MGM lot. Elegant as can be. On the way to work that day I saw a jet ski lying in the middle of a busy intersection. About 20 minutes later I saw Poitier and thought this is a memorable day. The riots broke out a little later.

I saw Denzel in person once. Very cool ! And Sidney Poitier too. I saw him on the Sony/MGM lot the day the riots broke out in Los Angeles. Super cool!
