Coincidentally, the novel currently on my bedside table is "I am Not Sidney Poitier" [1] by Percival Everett. The main character is Not Sidney Poitier (first name: Not Sidney), who looks a bit like Sidney Poitier. I'm only half way through and don't know yet whether this is significant. Not Sidney's guardian in the novel is Ted Turner, of Turner Broadcasting, and he lives for a while with Ted and his wife Jane Fonda. It's quite strange, and good fun. Anyway, this is a good prompt for me to learn more about the real Sidney Poitier and his significance and impact.
