When Mike Nichols debuted in the late '50s as one half of the improv duo Nichols and May, few could've predicted his current, godfatherly status — although being married to Diane Sawyer for the past two decades can't hurt. After irreconcilable creative differences led to a 1961 split with collaborator Elaine May, Nichols directed his multiple talents elsewhere: revolutionizing the movie soundtrack with Simon and Garfunkel; staging Beckett and Neil Simon on Broadway; and, since the millennium, garnering prime-time gold with made-for-cable pieces like Wit (2001). For the last two weeks of April, MoMA pays tribute to his ironic, big-issue films, including Dustin Hoffman's infamous double-dip into the Robinson family and career touchstones such as Carnal Knowledge (1971) and Silkwood (1983).
