I was surprised to read that he had worked until 2012 and died of Alzheimers. That's a very short time compared with most.

I loved that show whenever I listened to it and I don't even drive.

I was surprised as well, but if he just sat there and chuckled while his brother did the talking, I can see how that might work.

It's also common with Alzheimer's to remember old stuff just fine, it's the new memories that don't stick. They can't find their way home, but can tell you with precise detail how to get to the house they grew up in. Maybe he remembered the car stuff longer than the rest of it.

RIP Mike Nichols. Thank you for directing (and producing, in some cases) so many wonderful films such as (partial list):

2007 Charlie Wilson's War
2004 Closer
1998 Primary Colors
1996 The Birdcage
1991 Regarding Henry
1990 Postcards from the Edge
1988 Working Girl
1988 Biloxi Blues
1986 Heartburn
1983 Silkwood
1971 Carnal Knowledge
1970 Catch-22
1967 The Graduate
1966 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Those of us who live in the land of FilmBuffington mark this a very sad day, indeed.

Ha!

Quote:

The duchess, known for her frizzy white hair and squeaky voice, raised eyebrows nationwide and outraged her six children in 2011 when at the age of 85 she wed for a third time, marrying civil servant Alfonso Diez who was 25 years her junior.

At the wedding, she thrilled a crowd of several hundred when she hiked up her dress and did some flamenco dance steps on a red carpet at the palace, a 15th-century residence in the cobblestoned old quarter of Seville.

I just recently got a PD James novel out of the library because she sounded like an author I might enjoy, but I just couldn't get into it, so I returned it mostly unread. Maybe I'll try again
