Sydney Pollack was remembered by some of the elite actors he directed in films such as “Out of Africa,” “Tootsie,” and “Absence of Malice,” not only for his Academy Award-winning direction, but also for his acting talents.
Pollack, diagnosed with cancer about nine months ago, died Monday afternoon, surrounded by family, at his home in Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles, said his publicist, Leslee Dart. He was 73.
Unlike many other top directors of his era, Pollack was also a film and television actor himself, and he used this unique position to forge a relationship with Hollywood’s elite stars and create some of the most successful films of the 1970s and ’80s
