Nichols And May Reunite For Interview
Vanity Fair bills the feature about Mike Nichols and Elaine May as “The Comedy Duo Gives Their First Major Interview Together Since the Late 1960s.” But I gotta tell you: the story is slim pickings, and I want a four-course meal from these two. Such a banquet will never happen, just as Mr. Nichols professes to have no interest in writing a book about his partnership with Miss May and his life and career in general. “All memoirs basically have the implicit title: ‘How I Got To Be Wonderful,'” Nichols once told me. “And I have no interest in writing that.”
