Mike Nichols, who passed away Wednesday at 83, left an indelible mark on film, television, and of course theater. He was one of a select few to win all of the major awards in the entertainment industry, lovingly called an “EGOT” – Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and in Nichols’ case, nine Tonys.
Larry King had a cameo in Nichols’ 1998 film adaptation of Primary Colors and shared a story about being directed by a master. He also recalls meeting Dustin Hoffman ahead ofthe release of The Graduate in 1967 and sends his sympathies to his good friend and Nichols’ wife, ABC News broadcaster Diane Sawyer.
