Mike Nichols | November 6, 1931 – November 19, 2014

November 20, 2014 § 2 Comments

In 2012 I was fortunate to hear Mike Nichols interview Steven Spielberg after a screening of Lincoln. He made a noticeably uncomfortable Steven Spielberg at ease with anecdotes of his own experiences directing The Graduate. It seemed a few sitting near me were disappointed that he was doing most of the talking, but I was thrilled. R.I.P. Mike Nichols — one of the truly great directors of our time.

Here’s a salute to all the Veterans today and my cool dad who covered 4 presidential conferences as a correspondent for Stars and Stripes during WWII – Casablanca, Cairo, Tehran, Yalta, and Bitter Lakes.  The photo below was taken sometime in the 1980’s. See more of his photos and read about him from an earlier post here.
