It was a star-studded affair for the late Albert C. Freeman Jr. who was remembered at a memorial service on Monday for the roles he played as an iconic American stage and screen actor and as a deeply passionate Howard University professor.
Friends and admirers spoke of Freeman's disciplined approach to acting, a skill honed from innumerable stage and screen productions over a 30-year career. Images in a slide show that played through the service showed Freeman sharing scenes with Frank Sinatra, Sidney Portier, Ruby Dee, Burt Lancaster, Cicely Tyson and Denzel Washington.
