.017 Sydney Pollack is dead, is what I hear.

Says it on the top of MSNBC's home page. I read that and instantly thought Natalie Wood.

From her IMDb page:
Director Sydney Pollack credits her with his big break.

I haven't been able to get any news stories on it, so I'm not convinced.

But if he is, D= that sucks.
