Sydney Pollack dies of cancer at 73
Respected actor/director Sydney Pollack passed away Monday after battling cancer for the past 10 months, by the numbers to rule to the Reuters:
Pollack, whose illness first came to public attentiveness after unspecified health issues led him to withdraw last August as skipper* of an HBO receiver movie, died at his home in the coastal Los Angeles suburb of Pacific Palisades at about 5 p.m. local time, surrounded by his family.
The Directors Guild of America issued a verbalization on Monday night saluting him as "the quintessential 'actor's director"' and a gifted filmmaker who "let the dialogue and the emotion of a scene speak for itself."
Sydney Pollack's more recent roles act appearances on NBC's Will & Grace as Will's father, and a lawyer in the must-see George Clooney drama Michael Clayton. He was one a hell of a filmmaker and will truly be missed. Rest in Peace.
