It’s been a while since I’ve posted about dead celebrities. This is mostly due to laziness, but a small part of me also didn’t like seeing the “death” and “sad” tags having such prominent places in my tag cloud. (IndianJones, meanwhile, is eager to have his name ascend beyond the lower tier, but that’s another story). Anyway, the breaking news is that Academy Award winning director Sydney Pollack has died at the age of 73 from cancer.
Pollack directed such classics as Tootsie and Out Of Africa, but beyond that, he was also a gifted actor, clocking in face time in Michael Clayton, Eyes Wide Shut, and Husbands and Wives, among others. The latter movie I just saw for the first time about four days ago; so as you can imagine, there’s been a lot of Sydney Pollack on the brain.
