George Clooney released a statement to the Associated Press following Sydney Pollack’s sudden passing yesterday. Clooney and Pollack worked together on last year’s thriller “Michael Clayton” which Pollack produced and acted in alongside Clooney. “Sydney made the world a little better, movies a little better and even dinner a little better,” Clooney said. “A tip of the hat to a class act. He'll be missed terribly.”
