May she rest in eternal peace with her soulmate Ossie!

She was one in a million! Damn, who can replace the likes of her? Whom can we admire in the acting world or better yet, who will sacrifice themselves for the sake of right as she did! This world will be a worst place without the likes of her!

I'm always saddened when a legend passes but the sorrow is even greater when it's a Maya Angelou or Ruby Dee. I grew up idolizing her and Cicely Tyson. Talent, beauty, and grace personified. May she rest in peace.

They will probably do a special dedication tonight for Ruby after tonight's performance of A Raisin in the Sun.

May her soul rest in peace.

She was a pioneer and will live forever through her work.

RIP Ms. Ruby. We have lost another Icon.. I did not realize that she was 91.. She was ageless and timeless.

RUBY was a beautiful woman inside and out.!!!




I thank her for fighting against the marginalization of blacks. Rudy is in heaven smiling at "us" blacks that are fighting for a better future.



RIP!!!:love:

Now who will take up the cause? Who will hold up the banner of artistic integrity?

Angela Bassett, I look to you.....

We're losing some Legends this summer.

Its so crazy because I was just thinking about Maya Angelou and how I'd be capable of getting through the fact that she is gone (didn't know her but I've been seriously wondering about Oprah).

Now, Ruby Dee is gone!

Cop in a half is one of my favorites bus she threw down on this one right here.
