Farewell Sydney Pollack, and Thank You

Hollywood lost giant a today. Fans of the big screen lost a favorite saint. Sydney Pollack was a unique talent and gifted on both sides of the camera.

Six decades of work are rich in culture, humor, wonder, and romance. Thank you Sydney, for many, many hours of magic and imagination. We will never forget you.

Few other directors has as many movies on my list of personal favorites:

Jeremiah Johnson (1972)
The Electric Horseman (1979)
Out of Africa (1985)

Sydney Pollack was as big in small parts as he was in lead roles. He was Will's father in the Will and Grace TV series. He worked with Hitchcock and was in a few Twilight Zone episodes. He did westerns, medical dramas, comedies, and thrillers. Few in Hollywood have worked with as wide a range of big names as Sydney Pollack.

Farewell Sydney, and thank you!
