Kelly Carlson said she had just returned to L.A. from Toronto, where she has been visiting her boyfriend, former NHLer Tie Domi. Pollack was a prolific producer and director, who also was in a wonderful movie with another famous Minnesotan: "Tootsie" with Jessica Lange. In "Made of Honor," Carlson "played his wife. I had a small part, like two scenes." She laughed when recalling, "I played [Patrick Dempsey's] stepmom. That was the biggest deal for me when they offered me the movie because it was a really small part, when they said you're opposite Sydney Pollack. I didn't even negotiate anything. I just said, 'Yes, yes and yes.' ... That's a huge career highlight for me."
