bansi4 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Just heard that superior black actor Paul Winfield has died of a heart attack at age 62. He was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role in "Sounder". In many TV shows and movies he also won an Emmy award. I will miss his fine speaking when narrating the crime show "City Confidential" on A&E. Featuring true crime cases he had a special laid back narrative that made the cases so more interesting to watch. Rest in peace Mr. Winfield.

littletramplover Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Paul Winfield? Oh my goodness! That just knocked the wind out of me! I cannot believe it, he was just so young!

Guest Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 This is quite a sad piece of news. Like many black actors, he was often a far better actor than called for in the productions to which he lent his talent, style, and intelligence. I also enjoyed his often salty & acerbic narration of City Confidential. Still, I'll always remember him as the father and husband in the wonderful "Sounder". According to his IMDb bio, Mr. Winfield's life partner passed away almost exactly a year ago. Perhaps they are enjoying each other's company once again.

classicsfan1119 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Well, friends...here we go. In only the third month of the year a list of major losses has already started getting longer and longer. This man will be sorely missed, but who among us will ever forget him and the resonance of his voice? ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
