So Long, Sydney...



Film Director and Producer Sydney Pollack is another in an ever growing list of people lost to cancer. You may not recognize him by sight but he was a wonderful director whose list of projects includes one of my absolute favorite films, The Way We Were.

Other films by the great American director:
- Out of Africa
- Tootsie
- This Property is Condemned
- Three Days of the Condor
- The Firm
- Sabrina

He was responsible most recently for producing Michael Clayton which starred George Clooney. His films spanned genres and I'm sure in the list you'll find a happy memory too. Pollack also acted in his films and others. You may even remember him as Will's dad on televisions "Will and Grace".

Thank you for your legacy, Mr. Pollack. Many thoughts and prayers are with you.

As an aside, my thoughts are also with Senator Kennedy and his family as he begins a fight of his own.
