Yep, I'm not much on legitimate theater but he surely was a man of many talents. I'd not known he was one of the founders of Second City.

I knew him mainly as the guy who directed "The Graduate," which in my opinion was enough to have made him a legend.

It would be many years before I saw another movie that influenced me more.

He had a profound but largely invisible effect upon our culture. RIP

To be honest, I didn't realise who he was until I read his obituary.

I didn't know he was the one behind so many influential works in the entertainment industry.

May he rest in peace.

I loved Mike Nichols views........especially this one: if you think there's good in everybody,
you haven't met everybody.
