Thread Name: 2005 Obit: actor Ossie Davis
Subject: RE: Obit: Ossie Davis
Guest: I have to say here that Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee were one of a kind. My respect for them and for their son--Guy--is immense.

       That said, please let us not creat urban myths here. Heaven knows of their greatness.   It may well be that they maintained a flat (aptmt) in Harlem. They did, however reside---deservedly so---in a much more oppluent place in Westchester County (I believe that is the county) in NYS.

       I say all the above with respect and love for the Davises who, I am certain, would like the record straight---they always were and are. The tale, though, is a great Oprah story that I am sure she embelishes on as so many other things.
