A prolific black character actress of stage, screen, and especially television, Sinclair was long a fixture in drama series ("Trapper John, M.D." CBS, 1979-86, "Gabriel's Fire" ABC, 1990-91), miniseries ("Roots" ABC, 1977) and TV-movies ("I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" CBS, 1979, "Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones" CBS, 1980, "Divided We Stand" ABC, 1988). Sinclair's forthright manner has enhanced many tough but essentially warm-hearted character roles, some, like herself, of West Indies descent.
