13. I don't know what Elaine May's up to, but Mike Nichols?
Let's just start with "The Graduate" -- Best Director Oscar, 1967.

:hi:

15. humble beginnings
and I just learned that Elaine May directed "Ishtar." Which, according to my dad who spent 12 years in Abu Dhabi, was HILARIOUS. I guess you had to know the culture to find it funny. :shrug:

18. yeah, there was a movie several years ago with Walter Matthau
and May, for example (don't remember the title) and it had a few funny moments as a comedy but basically it stalled. He's a rich guy who lost his fortune and marries her as she is very rich. SHe walked around with lipstick on her teeth and things like that. Also, Ishtar was a little on the unwatchable side IMO

21. I'm old enough to have seen them on TV
and they were wonderful!

However, I lost a bit of respect for Mike Nichols when he married Diane Sawyer.
