Oscar-winning director, producer and actor Sydney Pollack has died at the age of 73, reportedly due to cancer. Pollack’s death comes just two months after that of his producing partner Anthony Minghella, who, though almost 20 years Pollack’s junior, also suffered from cancer. Here’s the NY Times obit; see a clip from my favorite film directed by Pollack, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, above.
