Legendary Actress Cicely Tyson’s Last Interviews Before She Died at 96

Tributes are pouring in for legendary actress Cicely Tyson, who died Thursday at the age of 96. “I am not a quitter. I will fight until I drop,” Tyson once said. And she lived up to her words, granting a string of interviews right up until her final days. Tyson’s career spanned seven decades. Perhaps her most iconic role was “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman,” a major TV milestone in which she played a 110-year-old former enslaved person. Tyson won three Emmys, a Tony and an honorary Oscar.
