A sequel to Poitier's 1967 hit film To Sir, with Love, To Sir, with Love II marked Bogdanovich's first made-for-TV movie as director. In it, Poitier reprised his role as teacher Mark Thackeray in an inner-city Chicago high school. Both movie icons died last Thursday. Poitier was 94 and Bogdanovich was 82. "Will always be grateful that Peter Bogdanovich cast me in this Sidney Poitier film back in the day," tweeted LZ Granderson, an ABC contributor and Los Angeles Times columnist, who played a student in the film. "Peter was creative, funny and loved telling stories. During breaks I must’ve asked him a 100 questions about The Last Picture Show and Cher and he had 100 answers. RIP."
