Sydney Pollack (1934-2008)

June 1, 2008

This week, Sydney Pollack passed away at 73.  A.O. Scott, in the New York Times, thoughtfully considers Pollack’s place in American film.  An L.A. Times article includes a guide to Pollack’s most memorable movies, such as The Way We Were, Three Days of the Condor, and Out of Africa.  And finally, Entertainment Weekly magazine did a nice tribute to him, which includes a hilarious YouTube clip of him as the agent in Tootsie.  Request your copy of Tootsie today–it’s hilarious and sweet and definitely well worth watching again and again.

    Those were supposed to go with the read-alikes not the Director’s death. ARGH!
