O óbito | Sydney Pollack (1934-2008)

Realizou clássicos como África Minha ou Tootsie, mas era com simplicidade que figurava em várias séries de televisão, além de interpretar pontuais (mas memoráveis) papéis no cinema. Na caixa que mudou o mundo, vi-o recentemente em Will & Grace, como pai do protagonista Will Truman, e em Just Shoot Me, como um amante de Nina Van Horn.
