Calvin Lockhart
Shoooooot, I’ve had a thing for Calvin Lockhart since I saw him in Let’s Do It Again with Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby, and now that I realize he was born in the Bahamas, I see why I like him so much! Lockhart lived there until he was 18, which is when he moved to New York City to start a career in film. After a long and successful career, Lockhart returned to the Bahamas in the ’90s and was a director there for the Freeport Players Guild. He died in Nassau (he was born in Nassau too), and in his honor, his wife and son created a scholarship fund to help Bahamian students interested in acting and working in film behind the scenes get their feet off the ground.
