Ossie Davis Passes

[Elspode]

Half of one of America's most enduring husband and wife acting pairs has passed over. Ossie Davis was found dead in his hotel room in Florida, where he was working on a motion picture.

Davis, along with his wife Ruby Dee, spent a long career at the fore of social and racial issues, often appearing in socially provocative projects. Ossie Davis was one of those rare individuals in the world of entertainment who stood firmly by his convictions, yet did not use his political leanings to advance his career. Instead, he always let his work speak for itself.

Ossie Davis was an entirely remarkable man, a solid performer, a principled actor and gentleman. The current crop of Hollyweird 'activists' could learn a thing or two from this guy.
