Excuse me, ladies, I was trying to have a serious, heated debate about Miss Cicely Tyson and the accusation that she is a tempermental Diva!!!
For the record, I LOVE Airplane, especially the bit when Ethel Merman pops up and sings 'Coming Up Roses' from Gypsy (tee hee). -

I'm between and betwixt,
Running in a race someone has fixed.
Sorry for getting sidetracked. I obviously didn't have a lot to add to this thread, but I find the notion that Cicely Tyson might be a temperamental diva fascinating because she's always appeared so professional when the camera was rolling at least to us in the audience.
I never heard of these allegations until recently, and I'm still not sure what to make of them (< Insert "Airplane!" quip here). Ms. Tyson's heyday was before the era of trash TV and TMZ, and the Enquirer wasn't considered a credible source for these details in the '70s (if it's credible now). I guess we should be thankful to Melissa Gilbert for setting the record straight, assuming she's telling the truth. -

She hasn't struggled. She may not have had a typical A-lister career but she has been paid handsomly doing those TV films and whatever, she successfully got nearly $1mill in the 80s with that Elizabeth Taylor lawsuit. Also just because people have had a hard life, which Tyson hasnt, it doesn't mean that justifies treating people like utter crap. Screw people like that.

There are a good number of white actresses who are as hard to work with as any black actress. Let's not tie this to one race. Most people have said that Shannon Dorothy is one of the hardest actresses to work with in the last 20 years! Unfortunately Cicely Tyson does have a diva attitude. She told regular people and the media not to take any pictures of her at a charity event because she doesn't like any type of flash in her face. When one peerson took a picture, she screamed at him! She's one of the greatest actresses I've ever seen though!

I read horse face's book too. She's a drunk and an adulteressnot really in a position to judge anyone. She was probably too drunkor cheating on her husband- during filming to give anything besides a distorted view of the facts. She's careerless and ugly for life! Cicely has aged gracefully without any botched plastic surgery, and works regularly to great accolades and is adored by costars and fans alike.
