By: Dave Ciszewski A little over a month ago, Hollywood lost one of its true talents in producer, director, and actor Sydney Pollack. It had been known around town that he was struggling with cancer and, sadly, after a nine-month fight, he lost that battle. Most of his obituaries were focused on his directing career.
