If I could pick anyone to in the world to play Harriet Tubman in a movie
I would pick Cicely Tyson because she is strong, beautiful and a great
actress! Cicely Tyson was born on December 19, 1933 in New York City. She
went to New York University also then studied acting at the Actors Studio.
Cicely was a successful model before becoming an actress. She has been
