George Clooney has led the tributes his Michael Clayton co-star Sydney Pollack, branding the actor/director a "class act".
Pollack died aged 73 on Monday, after a nine-month battle with cancer at his home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles.
The Oscar-winning star recently directed and starred alongside Clooney in 2007's Michael Clayton.
Clooney says, "Sydney made the world a little better, movies a little better and even dinner a little better. A tip of the hat to a class act. He'll be missed terribly."
And actress Sally Field - who starred in Pollack's 1981 movie Absence of Malice - has also paid tribute to the star.
She says, "Having the opportunity to know Sydney and work with him was a great gift in my life. He was a good friend and a phenomenal director and I will cherish every moment that I ever spent with him."
Pollack won two Academy Awards for the 1985 movie Out of Africa - Best Picture and Best Director.
