Sidney Poitier, the first black man to win the Best Actor Academy Award, has died at the age of 94.

A big box-office star for roles in films like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night and Lilies of the Field, for which he won his Oscar, he was admired by white and black cinema audiences alike for the subtle integrity of his acting and for his striking good looks.

His appearance in The Defiant Ones in 1958 earned him his first Oscar nomination - in itself an historic achievement for a black man in a lead category at the time.

Sir Sidney Poitier was the first African American actor to win an Oscar. He won Best Actor for his work in the 1963 film “Lilies of the Field.”
