Winsome Sinclair, a veteran casting professional who worked on scores of films and TV shows — many as casting director — including Malcolm D.
Lee’s The Best Man, Steven Spielberg’s Amistad, the Gabrielle Union series Being Mary Jane and a dozen Spike Lee movies, died August 12 of colon cancer on Long Island.
She was 58. Her rep Clorissa Wright-Thomas confirmed the news to Deadline, saying Sinclair had been in hospice care and that her family was at her bedside. “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Winsome Sinclair, a woman of extraordinary faith and a trailblazer in the film industry,” her family said in a statement (read it in full below). “Winsome’s life was a testament to radical faith, and she lived each day with a heart full of love and gratitude.” Born on October 27, 1965 in Jamaica, she grew up in New York after her family moved there when she was a small child.
Sinclair served as casting director on more than a dozen films and several TV series and in the casting department for more than 50 others — ranging from an internship on Spike Lee’s 1990 Mo’ Better Blues to several current projects in various stages of production.
