    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood filmmaker Sydney Pollack, who won a pair of Academy Awards for the epic romance "Out of Africa" and earned praise for acting stints in films including "Tootsie" and "Michael Clayton," died on Monday after a battle with cancer, his spokeswoman said. He was 73.
    During a varied career spanning almost half a century, Pollack directed such stars as Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in "The Way We Were," Tom Cruise in "The Firm" and Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie." Redford starred in seven of his films, including "Out of Africa," alongside Meryl Streep.

    he directed two of my favorite movies
    Three Days of the Condor
    and Jeremiah Johnson
    i don't know that he is usually on the "List" with his contemporaries like Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola
    but i'd take Pollack over someone like Spielberg any day
    sad day for Hollywood
    especially with the lack of entertaining and thoughtful movies
    like the ones Pollack made

    Yeah I heard about it. RIP Pollack. Now here come all the speaches from all the people that knew him as a brother, father and friend and who's career was jumped started by him. Yeah you should've told him earlier.

    I'm sure that she will!

    Like jm, Three Days of the Condor is one of my favourites. I have enjoyed very many of Pollacks films as a director in the past. I also enjoyed him as an actor, he had an ease about him, a strong presence too.

    Think we had a post on 3DoC, thats such an awesome flick. I liked him in everything he had parts in and quite a bit of his directed goodies.

    Sad.
