Joanna Shimkus

Joanna Shimkus

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.

She was cast in "Les Aventuriers" (1967), french movie by Robert Enrico, with Alain Delon and Lino Ventura.

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.
