Mr. McCane
This book felt like sitting down with your grandmother while she discussed how she lived through everything. How she reclaimed her power. Now imagine if your grandmother were the iconic Cicely Tyson.
She talks with such grace and integrity that it feels like poetry. This memoir is a celebration of her life. She brings up friendships and relationships with legends such as Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Pryor, Miles Davis, Sidney Poitier, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Viola Davis, Alex Haley, Coretta Scott King, James Earl Jones, Tyler Perry, and many more.
She shares her struggles, journey through Hollywood, relationships, racism, and some of her darkest secrets. This was a love letter to womanhood for black women. From pain to beauty. I really enjoyed it, and she made me sad, angry, smile, and laugh.
My favorite parts were when she discussed the behind the scenes of the TV series Roots, and her secrets for living a long life. I learned a lot from her. Rest in peace to this legend. She passed away in 2021 at 96.
