Tom Pollock, the former chairman of Universal Pictures and the American Film Institute, died Saturday night at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles following a heart attack.
He was 77. Director-producer Rob Cohen, Pollock's close friend and former client, confirmed the news of Pollock's death. "He was an amazing man," Cohen said.
