Tragic news out of Hollywood . Veteran Director Jeffrey Ian Pollack Found Dead He was such a young, talented and successful producer. According to NY Daily News: The tragic death of veteran producer Jeffrey Ian Pollack has left friends, family and peers in mourning. The discovery of the 54-year-old “Booty Call” director’s body on a secluded jogging trail in California’s Hermosa Beach Monday has also left questions as to what killed the avid runner. By the time another jogger stumbled upon the body at 6:30 a.m. Monday, Pollack, wearing a jogging outfit as his Eagles tunes still played on his iPod, was already dead, the Hermosa Beach Easy Reader reported. A cause of death has yet to be released. Pollack’s death hit the industry hard – particularly for those who worked with him over a career that started as a producer on the early ’90s TV series “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which introduced rapper Will Smith to mainstream America. Credited as Jeff Pollack, he directed three movies -”Above the Rim,” which starred Marlon Wayans, in 1994; Jamie Foxx vehicle “Booty Call” in 1997; and the 1999 romantic comedy “Lost & Found” – but primarily concentrated on producing since. Business partner Benny Medina expressed his grief in a statement to Deadline.com: “He was my partner, but first and foremost, a great and loyal friend whom I loved dearly,” said Medina, who had run Handprint Entertainment, a management company, with Pollack until it closed down in 2008. “Gone too soon, I will miss him.” Medina added that Pollack’s greatest legacy was the two children he leaves behind — daughter Lael Pollack, 19, and son Logan Pollack, 13. Prayers go out to his family. WENN
