The Profile

American film and theater director and comedian (1931–2014). A key figure of New Hollywood, Nichols rose from the Nichols and May comedy duo to Oscar-winning filmmaker of The Graduate and acclaimed director of Carnal Knowledge and the miniseries Angels in America.

Won the Academy Award for Best Director for The Graduate. One of the few EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). Longtime collaborator with Elaine May as “Nichols and May.”

These reviews praise Mike Nichols’s precision with character, irony, and visual metaphor. The Graduate emerges as a timeless, biting portrait of youth versus complacent adulthood. Carnal Knowledge probes the limits of liberation and the costs of desire. Angels in America is hailed as a landmark, emotionally and politically resonant miniseries.
