So, I don't know how many of you heard, or even know, but famed director Sydney Pollack died last week at the age of 73.
(imdb.com)
Mr. Pollack's career spanned almost 50 years as both actor and director. In an interview, Pollack once said he started his career as an actor, but when he realized how bad he was, he started directing.
His illustrious career as director led him to Oscar glory with his film Out Of Africa, for which he won Best Director and Best Film. His other achievements include Tootsie 
, the classic comedy starring Dustin Hoffman as the cross-dressing soap opera star, Three Days of the Condor 
, and They Shoot Horses, Don't They? 
Keen eyed viewers will also see his acting chops in films like Tootsie as Dustin Hoffman's agent, Changing Lanes with Ben Affleck as Affleck's boss and father in law, and in Death Becomes Her as the hard drinking ER doctor.
Funny, kind, and master film maker, Sydney Pollack, you will be missed.
