The incredible model and actress Cicely Tyson has been a fixture of the world of entertainment since the 1960s, having won an Oscar, two Emmys, and a Tony Award in her distinguished career. At the age of 95, Tyson shows no signs of retiring, now with an ongoing Emmy-nominated role in Shonda Rhimes’s show “How to Get Away with Murder.”
Featured on the cover of Time Magazine’s second annual “The Optimists” issue, edited by director Ava DuVernay, Tyson doesn’t consider retirement an option. “We have to honor this blessed gift that we have,” she told the magazine. “That’s what keeps you going. Keeps your mind fluid—your heart, your whole being.”
