After Cicely Tyson’s performance in the two-part CBS drama “Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All” earned her a spot in the very first Best TV Movie/Miniseries Actress SAG Award lineup, it took 26 years for another Black woman to be recognized by the organization for an actual miniseries. The subset started by Tyson in 1995 now includes five actresses, with the latest entrant being “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” cast member Niecy Nash-Betts. If she takes this year’s prize, Nash-Betts will be the fifth Black woman to ever prevail in this category and the first to be honored for a multi-part limited program.

Besides Tyson and Nash-Betts, the remaining three Black actresses who have been nominated by the Screen Actors Guild for their work on miniseries are Michaela Coel, Kerry Washington, and Cynthia Erivo. These five performances account for 24% of the 21 Black female ones ever recognized in this category,...

Only six weeks into the new year of 2021, we’ve already been losing so many Hollywood and entertainment legends. Tour our “In Memoriam” photo gallery, which features Oscar winners Cloris Leachman and Christopher Plummer, Honorary Oscar recipient Cicely Tyson, Tony winner Hal Holbrook, talk show icon Larry King, The Supremes co-founder Mary Wilson and former child star Dustin Diamond.

As we’ve done for many years, we will continue to update this gallery throughout 2021 and hope that the next 10 months aren’t as gut-wrenching as the first few weeks.

Here’s a look back at the seven people we celebrate so far in this gallery:

Singer Mary Wilson died on February 8 at age 76. She was one of the founders of The Supremes along with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

Hollywood is still grieving the death of Cicely Tyson, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 96. The groundbreaking actress took home her fair share of awards over the years, including an Honorary Oscar in 2018 and three Emmys for “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman” and “Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All.” However, the younger generation may best recognize her for playing Ophelia Harkness on “How to get Away with Murder,” the mother of Annalise Keating (Viola Davis).

As it turns out, Tyson’s all-time favorite moment on the show was in her first episode, “Mama’s Here Now,” during the scene in which she combs her daughter’s hair and reveals family tragedies (watch above). “Uncle Clyde obviously had done something wrong to Annalise and her mother found out sometime after and she quickly made a pact with herself that he would not get away with it,” Tyson...

The world suffered a great loss when Cicely Tyson died on Thursday. The Emmy- and Tony-winning actress's manager, Larry Thompson, announced her death in a statement to Variety that read: "I have managed Miss Tyson's career for over 40 years, and each year was a privilege and blessing. Cicely thought of her new memoir as a Christmas tree decorated with all the ornaments of her personal and professional life. Today she placed the last ornament, a Star, on top of the tree." She was 96.

Cicely made her film debut with her role in 1957's Twelve Angry Men, and she starred in numerous TV shows and movies, including Sounder, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, The Help, and How to Get Away with Murder.
