Poitier's performance as a doctor treating a white bigot got him plenty of notice and led to more roles, each considerably more interesting and prominent than most fl actors of the time were getting.
Poitier all but abandoned screen acting in the 1980s to concentrate on directing, guiding Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor in Stir Crazy (1980), then Wilder and his wife Gilda Radner in Hanky Panky (1982), and a bunch of break-dancing kids in Fast Forward (1985).
Poitier essayed another tough-cop characterization in Shoot to Kill (1988), and played an FBI agent in Little Nikita that same year.

 'Abby,' when trying hard isn't enough
It stars Sydney Tamiia Poitier (Sidney Poitier’s daughter), a semi-known name that at least guarantees a couple of magazine profiles.
The second episode also features a gratuitous celebrity guest appearance from RandB star Kenny Lattimore, the kind usually trotted out by sitcoms in their death throes (or by “Ally McBeal” every week it was on the air).
Poitier is generally appealing (though a bit stiff in her few dramatic moments), and Randy J. Goodwin stands out in the supporting cast as Max, the sports anchor with a blatant crush on Abby.

Meanwhile, in the Eden Projects in Brooklyn, 18-year-old high school dropout Nicole Turner (Sydney Tamiia Poitier) is hanging out with her sassy girlfriends, working in Fast Freddy's burger restaurant and fending off the advances of her loser boyfriend, Lewis (Corey Parker Robinson).
The combination of the 74-year-old Poitier and his youngest daughter is a strong draw for those of us who remember his dignified, decent performances in films like Blackboard Jungle and To Sir, With Love.
