It is very sad to report that iconic actress, Cicely Tyson, has passed away at the age of 96. The news has been confirmed by statement from her manager:
“I have managed Miss Tyson’s career for over 40 years, and each year was a privilege and blessing,” her manager, Larry Thompson, said in a statement. “Cicely thought of her new memoir as a Christmas tree decorated with all the ornaments of her personal and professional life. Today she placed the last ornament, a Star, on top of the tree.”
We extend our condolences to her loved ones during this time. 🙏🏾
