Mike Nichols, a nine-time Tony Award-winner and Oscar-winning director has died.
Nichols was married to Diane Sawyer, former anchorwoman of ABC's "World News Tonight" broadcast.
The director was born in Berlin and came to the United States at age 7 when his family fled the Nazis in 1939.
No director ever moved between Broadway and Hollywood as easily as Nichols.
He also was one of the few people to win an EGOT, which is an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
Nichols, who was 83, had three children from his earlier marriages.
