It appears that everyone wants to know about Juanita Poitier and who she etc. Well, she was the wife of Sidney Pitier and he has this new book out where he writes letters to his granddaughter about his marriage to Juanita Poitier amongst other things. His book “Life Beyond Measure, Letters to My Great-Granddaughter” was inspired when he saw his grandaughter in the arms of his daughter when she was born in 2005. It was a very moving experience for him and because he was almost 80 at the time he felt compeled to write about his life. Not is movie career but his personal life.
Funny thing is, I thought that Sidney Pitier was dead. I had no idea that he was still alive however he is getting pretty old at 81 years old so it’s just as well that he’s set about writing this book because he might not be around for that long being that old. I think that’s a horrible thing for me to say but oh well. You never know when you are going to die whatever age you are.
