The actress, Cicely Tyson, did not have an acting role in which of these films?

Cicely Tyson (1924 - 2021), who is known for movies that she made in the 1960s and 70s, did not have a professional role in the 1961 film "A Raisin in the Sun". This film is an adaptation of the 1959 play of the same name by Lorraine Hansberry. It was directed by Daniel Petrie. The film's top stars are Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee, Claudia McNeil, Diana Sands, Roy Glenn, and Louis Gossett Jr. (in his film debut). Tyson had roles in "A Man Called Adam" (1966), "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" (1968), and "Sounder" (1972).

Stephen Perry, John Fiedler, Ivan Dixon, Joel Fluellen, and Louis Terrel are also cast members in "A Raisin in the Sun". Each and every performer in the film worked to provide a penetrating psychological study of a working-class prosperous black family, who move into a white neighborhood on the south side of Chicago in the late 1940s.

Walter is a chauffeur. He hopes to use his father’s life-insurance money to open a liquor store with two partners. His mother, with the support of Walter’s wife, Ruth, and independent sister Beneatha, uses part of the money instead as a down payment on a house. Mama gives the remaining money, including Beneatha’s share (which is to be deposited in the bank), to Walter. After one of the partners absconds with the money, Walter sadly contacts Karl Lindner, a representative of the white neighborhood who had earlier tried to buy out the Youngers. Walter is about to accept the offer. However, he finally rejects the proposal.
