| RIP Sydney Pollack
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7420864.stm Quote:
US film director and producer Sydney Pollack has died of cancer, aged 73.
He won producing and directing Oscars for the epic romance Out of Africa, starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, in 1985.
He also directed Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, and The Way We Were, in which Redford partnered Barbra Streisand.
He died on Monday, surrounded by family members, at his home in Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles. He had been diagnosed with cancer 10 months ago.
While best remembered as a director, Sydney Pollack started out as an actor, and continued performing throughout his career, appearing in his last film, Michael Clayton, in 2007.
| I thought Tootsie was a superb film. RIP Syd |

I'd hate to die surrounded by my family members. I'd probably fart, follow through and ruin the moment. His entire family should have remembered him as a great father, relative, friend and wonderful director but will now, probably, only think of the smell of shit and and a poorly placed catheter whenever they mention his name. Or that wee bit of vomit under his lip that was there for the last few hours but no-one had the courage to tell a dying man he had some puke on his chin.
It's a shame that is.
