From 2013: The Sidney Poitier interview

He was a legend. He was a pioneer. Sidney Poitier, who died this week at age 94, was a ground-breaking performer … truly in a class all his own. In 2013, "Sunday Morning" asked Lesley Stahl to talk with the Oscar-winning actor. We could think of no better remembrance than their conversation:

Sidney Poitier's life has been a series of "firsts." In 1959, he was the first Black man nominated for an Oscar as Best Actor for his role of an escaped convict alongside Tony Curtis in "The Defiant Ones." He was the first Black man to kiss a White woman in a movie, 1965's "A Patch of Blue." And when he won the best actor Oscar in 1964, he was not only the first Black actor to do so, he remained the only one until 2002.
