Before "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"

Mike Nichols: A legendary mensch 

... and "Barefoot in the Park" and "The Graduate"; before the Tonys, Oscars and Emmys; before Diane Sawyer, there was Nichols & May. My parents introduced us to their brilliant comedy album when we were kids. We'd sit in the den with our grandparents, "An Evening with Mike Nichols & Elaine May," on the turntable, and our laughter echoing off the walls. Here's my favorite routine: "Mother and Son."
