Sidney Poitier
That’s SIR Sidney Poitier to you (*winks*).
The legendary actor is the son of Bahamian parents, and though he was born in Miami (and raised there for three months as he struggled as premature baby), he was primarily raised in the Bahamas. He lived on Cat Island with his family until he was 10, and then they moved to Nassau. It wasn’t until his late teen years that the actor was sent back to Miami to live with family, and inevitably wound up moving to America to work and make it. Since doing so (making it that is), Poitier has been appointed the ambassador of the Bahamas to Japan, as well as the ambassador for the Bahamas to UNESCO. Seems like he’s holding things down just fine!
