    Was lucky enough to have a brief conversation with Sydney Pollack in 2007. As a sales associate at Hammacher Schlemmer in midtown Manhattan I helped him with his purchases of a roll-up keyboard and high-end office chair. I let him know my appreciation of his work (Tootsie in particular) and he told me of this "little film" (Michael Clayton) he was going to do with George Clooney (filming a scene right around the corner). Later I learned from a regular customer of mine, a talent director who worked with Sydney, that he decided not to seek treatment after being diagnosed with cancer. He was a gentleman and a great talent and I will always be grateful for that brief encounter.

    Barbra's appearance was preceded by a short video about film directing, featuring all five nominees and other legendary directors (Barbra was also shown directing "Yentl"). The video played alongside Barbra's "Putting It Together"--quite timely as "The Broadway Album" was also ruling the top of the music charts during this time. As soon as the video ended, the screen went up, and Barbra strode on stage, unannounced.
