Bill and Hillary Clinton, actor-director Tyler Perry and singer Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson are among those who attended a private memorial service for Cicely Tyson.

Mourners gathered Tuesday at Harlem's famed Abyssinian Baptist Church, a day after hundreds lined up for a public viewing.

"She was a force of nature," said Tyson's manager Larry Thompson.

Tyson died Jan. 28. The New York-born actor was 96.

Her performance as a sharecropper's wife in the 1972 movie "Sounder" cemented her stardom and earned her an Oscar nomination.
