A young Warwick talks about meeting Poitier in the '60s.
“In front of me was walking this regal,“You sprinted after Sidney Poitier,” Colbert said.Funnily enough, she caught up with Poitier at Broadway and 53rd Street, the location of the Ed Sullivan Theater where Colbert tapes “The Late Show” . A bit embarrassed to be following the actor, she looked away.
“I actually bumped into him,” Warwick said. “He turns around, he says, ‘Little girl, what do you want?’ And of course I went crazy. My mouth didn’t work. It just didn’t. Finally I said, ‘Can I have your autograph?’ And from that day until the last time I saw him a year or so ago, he did not greet me as, ‘Hi, Dionne.’ It was, ‘Hello, little girl, you want my autograph?’”
