Mark Harris is the author of the new biography, Mike Nichols: A Life. In it, Harris explores the life, work, struggle of the celebrated film director, stage director, and improv comedian who was one of the most creative forces in American entertainment history.
Following a difficult, lonely adolescence, Nichols left for college in Chicago, then returned to New York in the mid-1950s, where he burst onto the scene as half of a groundbreaking improv duo with Elaine May that was the talk of the country.
He went on to enjoy parallel careers of nearly fifty years as a celebrated film and stage director (including Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?, The Graduate, Silkwood, Working Girl, and Angels in America ) and stage director (winning eight Tony Awards for his work on Broadway).
