Product Description

In her long and extraordinary career, Cicely Tyson has not only succeeded as an actor, she has shaped the course of history. President Barack Obama, 2016 Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony
Just as I Am is my truth. It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland set aside. In these pages, I am indeed Cicely, the actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. Yet I am also the church girl who once rarely spoke a word. I am the teenager who sought solace in the verses of the old hymn for which this book is named. I am a daughter and a mother, a sister and a friend. I am an observer of human nature and the dreamer of audacious dreams. I am a woman who has hurt as immeasurably as I have loved, a child of God divinely guided by his hand. And here in my ninth decade, I am a woman who, at long last, has something meaningful to say. Cicely Tyson

Review

The autobiography of Miss Cicely Tyson is a balm for the afflicted. New York Times
A parting gift to readers and chronicles an incredible life, lived fully. USA Today
This grand tale of her immense talent and desire to live out loud will resonate with anyone who has a dream. O, the Oprah Magazine
"Its in these poignant moments that the memoir becomes a resonant meditation on the link between an actresss life and her art. This showstopping tale hits the mark." Publishers Weekly
What shines most from the memoir is how Tysons story, while frankly written and supremely eye-opening, isnt just her own. Its also the story of Black women in America, of generations past, present and yet to come, whose wills to survive are divinely gifted and ancestrally guided. Washington Post
"Tyson speaks with incisive clarity, humor, and moral authority... Booklist
If youre ready for your next book, Just As I Am is the one to pick. Washington Informer
This book is Ms. Tysons abundant treasure to each of us: her life, in her words, just as she is. She shares truths usually whispered between close friends in the dim light of a back bedroom, those candid declarations not often spoken aloud. And she tells her story the way only a black woman can: in all of its dazzling authenticity, heels off and voice undulating, shifting between anguish and exuberance. The art of acting is the art of exposing, an emotional unveiling before others. Ms. Tyson is as revelatory on these pages as she has been on the stage." Viola Davis, Academy, Tony, and Emmy award-winning actress and producer

About the Author

Ms. Cicely Tyson is an actress, lecturer, activist, and one of the most respected talents in American theater and film history. From her starring role on Broadway in The Blacks (1961), to the Emmy-nominated 1999 HBO film A Lesson Before Dying, her work has garnered critical and commercial applause for more than sixty years. Her two Emmys for The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman made her the first African-American woman to win an Emmy for Best Actress. In 2013, Ms. Tyson won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for her performance as Miss Carrie Watts in The Trip to Bountiful. A capstone achievement came in 2018, when she became the first Black woman to receive an honorary Oscar. The Board of Governors voted unanimously to honor her with the award, which came 45 years after her Academy Award nominated performance in Sounder.
