Sydney Pollack, RIP

[coyotegoth]

Rest in peace, Sydney Pollack. An Oscar-winning (Out of Africa) director who also did one of my favorite films (Tootsie), I liked him even better as an actor- Eyes Wide Shut; Husbands and Wives (the only Allen film of the last 20 years I'd willingly re-view); the aforementioned Tootsie, where he plays Hoffman's put-upon agent ("A tomato doesn't have logic!"), or for his work as a producer, with such directors as the late Anthony Minghella. He'll be missed.

I also have greater fondness for him as an actor. He could be very funny and affecting.
