Sydney Tamiia Poitier is an American actress known for her work on television. Poitier was born in Los Angeles, California to actor Sidney Poitier and former actress Joanna Shimkus.
Poitier had a recurring part in season one of Joan of Arcadia, where she played Rebecca Askew, the love interest of Joan's older brother, Kevin. She was also a regular on the first season of Veronica Mars before the show opted to focus on different characters and she was dropped from the cast. Coincidentally, her role in both series was related to journalism - on Joan of Arcadia she worked at the same newspaper as Kevin, and on Veronica Mars she was Veronica's journalism teacher. In 2007, Poitier appeared in Death Proof, director Quentin Tarantino's segment of the movie Grindhouse. |
