An agent for actor and director Sydney Pollack says the Academy Award winner, director, and producer has died. He was 73.
Agent Leslee Dart says Pollack died Monday afternoon at his home in Pacific Palisades after a long fought battle with cancer. She says Pollack was surrounded by family.
Pollack appeared in some of the films he directed, including the gender-bending hit "Tootsie," which starred Dustin Hoffman. Pollack won producing and directing Oscars for "Out of Africa" in 1985.

Once again, the year of the deaths... This is 4? 5? Great people in the film community that have passed on now. Such a shame.
