Nichols was just as active on the stage and he was on film. He'd win eight Tony Awards—and would be nominated for many more—for work on shows including Death of a Salesman, The Gin Game and Plaza Suite.
"There's nothing better than discovering, to your own astonishment, what you're meant to do," Nichols said in 2008. "It's like falling in love."
"I love to take actors to a place where they open a vein," Nichols, who worked with Elizabeth Taylor, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty and Meryl Streep, once said. "That's the job. The key is that I make it safe for them to open the vein."
