      Legendary Director Mike Nichols Dies at Age 83               Jordan Zakarin Writer       November 20, 2014               Mike Nichols, Oscar-winning director of such iconic films as The Graduate,       died on Wednesday night at the age of 83.               The filmmaker's death was announced by ABC News. Nichols was married for 26       years to the network's longtime news anchor Diane Sawyer. No cause of death       was given.               Born in Germany in 1931, Nichols escaped the Nazi regime with his family. He       became a US citizen in 1944, and began his career as part of the comedy group       The Compass Players. He teamed up with Elaine May for several hit records and       a Broadway show.               Nichols' film directing career spanned over five decades, beginning with his       1966 adaptation of Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf, one of the greatest film       debuts of all time. He followed that with The Graduate and continued his hot       streak with Catch-22 and Carnal Knowledge. He would go on to to direct such       classics as Silkwood, Working Girl, and The Birdcage.               He also directed the seminal HBO mini-series, Angels in America. An icon on       Broadway, he helmed many indelible stage productions including Barefoot in the       Park, The Odd Couple, and most recently, a revival of Death of a Salesman. He       was one of only a handful of entertainers to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and       Tony Award.               [NOTE: He and Elaine May also did the voices for the animated Jax beer       commercials in New Orleans.]                       Regards,               Roger              --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: NCS BBS -Houma, LoUiSiAna- (1:3828/7)    |
