This book.' ―Wes Anderson'Funny, incisive, kind, wicked, daring, gripping, sad, human. Kind of like a Mike Nichols movie.'―Noah Baumbach“I love a great Mike Nichols story! And an entire book of them―by turns hilarious, insightful and inspiring―is a real gift.â€Â―Judd Apatow 'Legendary director Mike Nichols (1931–2014) refused to write his memoirs, but this scintillating oral history fills the gap splendidly, with wry and heartfelt commentary by '150 of his closest friends,' from Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, and Meryl Streep through Candice Bergen and Christine Baranski, all of whom cherished their professional and personal relationships with a man who seemingly impressed everyone he met as being the smartest and most charming person in the room.'―Booklist starred review'Deep, in-the-pocket theater devotees . . . are going to feast on this brilliant and terrific oral history of the life and times of the singular Mike Nichols.' ―Buffalo NewsAsh Carter is a writer and editor whose work has appeared in Esquire, Vanity Fair, Town & Country, and the New York Times.
