On Friday I found out that Robert Redford is engaged and tonight I read that Sydney Pollack has died of cancer at 73 years old. What a bummer. Now some of you are wondering, “who is Sydney Pollack?” Well Mr. Pollack was an actor and a producer but he was most well known for being a Director. He directed many, many great films- and several of those starred Robert Redford! Do any of these ring a bell?--
Jeremiah Johnson, The Way We Were, Three Days Of The Condor, The Electric Horseman, Tootsie, Out Of Africa, Havana, The Firm, Sabrina, Random Hearts, and so on. He was notorious for directing a movie and playing a small acting part in it himself. The most recent one being Random Hearts with Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas… he played her campaign manager or something along those lines. The article stated that he was diagnosed 9 months ago and lost the battle today. I am sure it will be all over the Hollywood gossip shows and magazines by tomorrow…Oh well, I suppose Memorial Day now has more than one meaning for some…
