A poignant Poitier moment: As I enjoyed a Harry Belafonte show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, during a short break, Sidney Poitier rose from the front row to shake hands with his life-long friend. THAT, my friends, was Celebration of Life right before my eyes. #RIP https://t.co/yh5kyuT3zu
