Mike Nichols Dies
Mike Nichols, the award-winning director of Broadway and movies, has passed away suddenly at the age of 83, according to information released by ABC News. Nichols was the husband of ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer.
No cause of death was given.
Nichols created some of American film’s most popular works, including “The Graduate” and “Working Girl.” He won awards for directing writing, producing and is among the few to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.
Nichols may best be remembered for his direction of both Broadway plays and movies. He was the guiding force behind “Barefoot in the Park,” “The Odd Couple,” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “The Graduate.” He earned the Oscar for best director for “The Graduate.” Over a period of five decades, he also directed “Carnal Knowledge,” “Working Girl,” “The Birdcage” and “Closer.” He earned his eighth Tony two years ago for a revival of “Death of a Salesman.”
He leaves behind three children—Daisy, Max and Jenny—and four grandchildren, in addition to his wife, Diane Sawyer, to whom he was married for 26 years.

Terrible loss. I was flipping through channels today and the View was on and Whoopi started to talk about him and burst into tears....real sobbing tears. They had to go to break. It seems that he was her mentor and "found" her and she was distraught. So sad!
