Such a fan of Sydney. I was always happy to see him in some supporting role, or see his name in the opening credits as producer or especially director. I knew if he was involved there was a good chance the film was worth watching.

The seriousness of his illness had been rumored for a long while. A shame. Pollack seemed like one of the good guys.

That's a shame, I also loved his acting: 'Tootsie', 'Husbands and Wives', and he was pretty much the only good thing about 'Eyes Wide Shut'. A powerful and inspiring force.
