Beloved movie star Cicely Tyson has died, aged 96. Her longtime manager, Larry Thompson, confirmed the sad news on Thursday - two days after the release of her memoir, Just As I Am - with a statement. "I have managed Miss Tyson's career for over 40 years, and each year was a privilege and blessing," it read. "Cicely thought of her new memoir as a Christmas tree decorated with all the ornaments of her personal and professional life.

Today she placed the last ornament, a Star, on top of the tree," Thompson mourned. The multi-Emmy winner's credits included The Help, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, in which she played a woman born into slavery, and Sounder, in which she portrayed a member of a Depression-era sharecropper family.
