Sidney Poitier’s Daughter: Sydney Tamiia Poitier

Sydney Tamiia Poitier was born to be an actress. She attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and earned a degree in acting. Sidney Poitier’s daughter was born on November 15, 1973, in Los Angeles, California. While she had been preparing for a career in Hollywood since early in life, it was not until the 1990s that she appeared on TV, in the series First Years. She also starred in the sitcom Abby.

Sydney grew up in their Beverly Hills home with her father Sidney and mother Joanna. The house has since then been sold and the family moved to New York back in the mid-1990s. The New York house was purchased for $2.5 million. Sydney’s parents did keep a smaller house in Los Angeles, but they stayed more on the East Coast. Having multiple real estate investments worked to the advantage of the family as they could move to and fro, depending on their needs.
