Cicely Tyson, who died on Thursday at age 96, never wanted to be confined to the roles that had been customarily reserved for Black women. She had no interest in perpetuating stereotypes. She was drawn to female characters distinguished by their dignity, strength, intelligence, compassion and bravery — even though that might have limited her available professional opportunities. “I could not do anything that would not enhance humanity, especially women,” she once said.
Her poise and determination still resonate in Tyson’s best work, much of which is available right now. Some, like her groundbreaking role in the early ’60s TV series “East Side/West Side” (which also starred George C. Scott) or the ’90s NBC legal drama “Sweet Justice” aren’t legally streaming. But these eight of her best titles are, in chronological order.
Before anyone could accuse Tyson of prestige-TV humorlessness, she poked fun at her own image during her stint as the first Black woman to host “Saturday Night Live.” Because of the show’s lack of diversity at the time, this meant she shared a lot of sketches (and a monologue) with the cast’s only Black member of the time, Garrett Morris (who also did a Tyson impersonation). In their best bits, they jokingly bicker about racial issues — the Token Minority Window-Dressing Act, the Black Resentment Drama Workshop. Bonus: Tyson sings!
As Sipsey, Tyson turns out to be the secret weapon in a film that’s ostensibly about the relationships between other women — a story of love and friendship between Idgie (Mary Stuart Masterson) and Ruth (Mary-Louise Parker), as told by Ninny (Jessica Tandy) to Evelyn (Kathy Bates), who then becomes inspired to change her own life. Sipsey is the maternal figure for her own family as well as for a white one, and Tyson gives the character a quiet ferocity that may surprise you. It certainly surprises the local Klansmen.
