An great director with several good movies, like the Graduate, on his account has passed on. May his afterlife be calm and peaceful.
RIP Mike Nichols

Mr. Nichols will be missed by many. His legacy will live on for future generations. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Diane Sawyer, his children and many friends.
Was it Mike Nichols who won a bidding war to have Carly Simon whisper in his ear who You're so Vain was really about?
My favorites from Mike Nicols
The Graduate
Silkwood
Biloxi Blues

The Graduate is one of my all-time favorite movies. Amazing performances by Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft; great soundtrack from Simon & Garfunkel; and superbly directed by Mr. Nichols.
RIP Mike Nichols.
RIP Mike Nichols.
I don't think he was the one who got that prize. He was mentioned along with Diane Sawyer as being the prize for someone to have a sail with in the previous part of the sentence along with other prize options but the Carly Simon bidder wasn't named. How cool would that have been, though, to know for sure if it really was Mick Jagger like has been speculated for so long?!
No, it was him. He had an item to bid on, the sail.
EDIT: NO! It was Ebersol who won the secret! My bad.
I thought I'd read somewhere that Carly was quoted as having said that it was a combination of a few of her 'ex' lovers? But, the line in the song that mentions a scarf is definately about Mick!
R.I.P. Mike! Loved Silkwood! Thanks for the beautifully done movies.
It was James Taylor.
My heart goes out to Diane Sawyer (his wife). She has always been my favorite television personality.
I have always loved her voice and she's aging so beautifully. Pure class.
This. She's always come across as a classy woman and she stands by her friends in the biz- meaning Robin Roberts. She could have viewed Robin as an adversary but she didn't. Television is a cut-throat business- there's always someone coming up behind you trying to steal your job- and yet Diane seems to be above any of the little games and is just a real person. Her and Robin have a beautiful and loving friendship.
He Graduated to the afterlife.....(it had to be said)
R.I.P. Mr. Nichols. The Silkwood shower scares me to this day.
