Joanna Shimkus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joanna Shimkus (born 10 October 1943 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) is a Canadian former actress, of Lithuanian descent.
She is married to the Bahamian-American film actor Sidney Poitier. As Poitier is a knight, Joanna Shimkus may correctly be referred to as "Lady Poitier", however there is no evidence that she uses this title.
Joanna Shimkus's movie career continued until the early 1970s, one of her last screen appearances being in The Virgin and the Gypsy (1970). She married Poitier in 1976, and they live in Southern California. Their daughter Sydney Tamiia Poitier is also an actress.
