Sydney Pollack (1934-2008)
Pollack began his lifelong relationship with acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse School where he studied under
Sanford Meisner for a couple of years, and later taught. After teaching acting, he moved to television - where
he eventually began to direct and produce. During his career, Pollack directed 21 films and produced dozens more.
His films were repeatedly nominated for academy awards. And, in 1985, Pollack won best director for his film
"Out of Africa." The last film he directed was the highly acclaimed 2005 documentary "Sketches of Frank Gehry."
Pollack's final performance can be seen in the recently released film "Made of Honor" where he plays an oft
married but completely affable dad to comic effect.
The MRC collection holds a large collection of films Pollack either directed, produced or starred. A brief sampling:
