    Louis Gossett Jr., first Black man to win best supporting actor Oscar, dies at 87

    Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win an Oscar for supporting actor, has died at 87.

    Gossett Jr.'s nephew told The Associated Press that the Emmy Award-winning actor died Thursday in Santa Monica. In 1982, Gossett Jr. starred as Marine Gunnery Sgt. Emil Foley in "An Officer and a Gentleman," for which he scored an Academy Award for best supporting actor and became the first Black man to win in the category.
