CICELY TYSON | 95

Cicely is an American actress and former fashion model whose acting career has lasted over six decades. She has won Primetime Emmy, Black Reel, Tony, Academy and Screen Actor Guild awards. In her early days, the minor film roles she got did not deter her from achieving the fame that she set out to make. Her determination paid off when she played Rebecca Morgan in Sounder in 1972. Tyson was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for her work in the film industry. She also appeared in Theatre Productions like Moon on The River Show, for which she won a Drama Desk Award in 1972.

She received critical acclaim and never looked back from that point. Tyson has only been married once, but it ended in divorce. The lack of romance in her life, however, did not affect her celebrity status or fortune. We believe she will enjoy retirement when she makes that decision since she has never needed a bankruptcy attorney given all the money she’s made from acting.
