(© Tristan Fuge/Tricia Baron) This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity. Until I read the book, I don t think I ever really completely understood how extraordinarily influential Mike Nichols was in so many mediums. It s a three-part story, isn t it? It s him as a movie director, it s him as a theater director during the same years, but it s also him as a performer. One of the many things I didn t fully understand when I started this was how much the comedy he did with Elaine May specifically observational comedy and showing an audience to itself through the characters he was playing would inform the way he worked as a director. Like a lot of people, I thought of performing as a separate career he had before he was a director. But in doing the research, I really came to understand how deeply, certainly his theater work, but even his movie work, was informed by his years with Elaine, and particularly by that eight or nine months they spent together on Broadway.
