. His daughter, Shari Belafonte, is a photographer, model and actress. He lives in upstate New York and has two daughters. He has won a Grammy Award in 1985 for lifetime achievement and has been made a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. His sometimes sinister look has made him a popular choice for movies and TV. At the end of the 1940s he took classes in acting and subsequently received a Tony Award for his participation in John Murray Anderson's Almanac. Assante is an accomplished character actor, with his big break coming in 1974 in "The Lords of Flatbush".

Armand Assante was born on October 4, 1949 in New York City, New York. From 1935 to 1939 he lived with his mother in her homeland Jamaica. Belafonte has gained notoriety for his left wing political views and has called both United States Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice "house slaves". He appeared on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and performed a controversial "Mardi Gras" number with footage intercut from the 1968 Democratic National Convention riots. He was the first African-American to win an Emmy, with his first solo TV special “tonight with Belafonte”.

His breakthrough album Calypso (1956) was the first album to sell over 1 million copies. He is perhaps best known for singing the "Banana Boat Song" with its signature lyric "Day-O". Harry Belafonte (born Harold George Belafonte on March 1, 1927) is a Harlem-born calypso musician and actor who used his fame as an entertainer in the cause of human rights.
