Barbara McNair has died
As reported on the BBC website
Quote:
Singer and actress Barbara McNair, who starred opposite Mary Tyler Moore and Elvis Presley, has died aged 72.
Starting out as a nightclub singer, she moved into film and TV as opportunities for black women opened up in the 1960s, eventually hosting her own show.
Her best known film role came as Sidney Poitier's wife in the classic crime drama They Call Me Mister Tibbs! and its 1971 sequel The Organization.
McNair died on Sunday after a long battle with cancer, her husband said.
