Is this 24-year-old worried about playing a screen legend? Not so much
Actor Donné Ngabo, 24, plays Sidney Poitier in the stage play Retrograde, which explores the legendary performer's moral struggles in 1950s Hollywood amid McCarthy witch-hunts and civil rights upheaval. Ngabo studied Poitier's films and documentaries before the role, focusing on conveying dignity rather than impersonation. The play draws from Poitier's actual memoirs and interviews.
