Mike Nichols

[Victoria]

Nichols’ work in theater was matched equally by his long list of work in Hollywood. Often, the two trajectories intersected: His first film was a 1966 adaptation of Edward Albee’s bitter pill of a play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The following year, he directed his most famous work, The Graduate, a generation-defining classic that tapped directly into the zeitgeist in a way few films manage to do. link
