"The DGA is greatly saddened by the passing of George Roy Hill. Audiences loved the light touch he brought to his films throughout his career, from musicals to westerns to thrillers to comedies. He was a great story-teller with a special ability to bring the best out of his actors. The film world will miss him dearly, and the DGA will miss the dedicated service he brought to both our East Coast members and to the Guild as a whole."
