Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar, has died at the age of 87. "The Officer and a Gentleman" star died Thursday night in California.
Gossett always thought of his early career as a reverse Cinderella story, with success finding him from an early age and propelling him forward, toward his Academy Award for "An Officer and a Gentleman."
The actor made his Broadway debut at the age of 16 with a role in "Take a Giant Step."
