R.I.P. Mike Nichols

 
 
Academy Award and Tony Award winning director Mike Nichols has died at age 83.  The word "legendary" is thrown around a lot, but this guy deserves the title.  His movies are so loved and ubiquitous in our culture, and he seemed like such a down to earth guy.  Playwright Tom Stoppard described him perfectly:
 
"He’s good at comfort and joy. He’s good at improving the shining hour and brightening the dark one, and, of course, he’s superlative fun. To me he is the best of America”
 
Rest in Peace and God Bless.
