Goodbye Sydney Pollack

Echoing a lot of the above. I loved a lot of the films he directed, and seeing him in a picture always made me happy. I saw him just the other night in a fluffy French film "Avenue Montaigne," playing an American director, and I brightened right up. He seemed to be living proof that you could have a great and varied career without being edgy with a capital E or coming off like an as*hole.

Damn.

I can't add to what anyone has said here, except echo my admiration for his work before and behind the camera. He produced many fine and favorite films and always seemed to be a totally class act. RIP Sydney, thanks for everything.
