Some of his notable early film roles included 1950's "No Way Out" and 1958's "The Defiant Ones" which saw his star opposite Tony Curtis. The next several years bore witness to Poitier transitioning back and forth between theatre and film. In 1959 he starred in the inaugural production of Lorraine Hansberry's play, "A Raisin in the Sun." The work became significant, helping to expose the plight of African Americans to a larger audience. Later that year, Poitier also starred in the film production of George Gershwin's 1935 musical, "Porgy and Bess." The role garnered him his first nomination for a Golden Globe Award. His repeat performance as Walter Younger, this time in 1961's big screen rendition of "A Raisin in the Sun" earned him a repeat nomination for the Golden Globe. Two years later, Poitier made waves in the acting community when he became the first African American to win an Academy Award for Best Actor when he starred in "Lillies of the Field." In 1967, at the height of his acting career, he starred in three separate films; "To Sir with Love," "In the Heat of the Night," and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," each of which dealt with the themes of racial tension which were prominent at the time. With a stunning performance as In the Heat of the Night's Detective Virgil Tibbs, he earned dual Golden Globe and British Academy Film award nominations Also listed Doris Day, Joan Crawford SIGNED, Steve Reeves, Marilyn Monroe, George Nader SIGNED, Montgomery Clift, Barbara Stanwyck, Hollywood Life, Bette Davis SIGNED, Olivia de Havilland SIGNED & other Hollywood Items!!
