He was 89. His wife, Irene Ramp, said his death, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was caused by a heart attack.

  • The Biology of Marine Mammals
    Romero, A. 2009. The Biology of Marine Mammals. The Biology of Marine Mammals Aldemaro Romero, Ph.D. Arkansas State University Jonesboro, AR 2009 2 INTRODUCTION Dear students, 3 Chapter 1 Introduction to Marine Mammals 1.1. Overture Humans have always been fascinated with marine mammals. These creatures have been the basis of mythical tales since Antiquity. For centuries naturalists classified them as fish. Today they are symbols of the environmental movement as well as the source of heated controversies: whether we are dealing with the clubbing pub seals in the Arctic or whaling by industrialized nations, marine mammals continue to be a hot issue in science, politics, economics, and ethics. But if we want to better understand these issues, we need to learn more about marine mammal biology. The problem is that, despite increased research efforts, only in the last two decades we have made significant progress in learning about these creatures. And yet, that knowledge is largely limited to a handful of species because they are either relatively easy to observe in nature or because they can be studied in captivity. Still, because of television documentaries, ‘coffee-table’ books, displays in many aquaria around the world, and a growing whale and dolphin watching industry, people believe that they have a certain familiarity with many species of marine mammals (for more on the relationship between humans and marine mammals such as whales, see Ellis 1991, Forestell 2002). As late as 2002, a new species of beaked whale was being reported (Delbout et al. 2002), in 2003 a new species of baleen whale was described (Wada et al.

Nichols, who has a sharp American wit but courtly European manners, bit his tongue. “All those ‘Mr. Success’ years would have been hard to explain to anybody if I tried,” Nichols, now sixty- eight, says. “What I really wanted to say to that envious woman was ‘Don’t worry.There’s still nothing happening in- side me. I’m not experiencing success or anything much.’ ” But feelings aren’t facts. From the moment Nichols made his name, in the late fifties, as the lanky deadpan half of the comedy team Nichols and May, he took up residence in success. As early as 1961, a letter addressed to “Famous Actor, Mike Nichols, U.S.A.” reached him. And, by the seventies, Nichols repre- sented the high-water mark in not just one but three areas of American enter- tainment.

  • Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with Mike Nichols
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH MIKE NICHOLS Mike Nichols took Broadway by storm in the early 1960s with his comedy partner Elaine May. He began his directing career with the stage production of Barefoot in the Park and became a film director with Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? , followed by his landmark film The Graduate . In this interview, just before he was honored with a gala Salute by the Museum of the Moving Image, Nichols talks about how the assured, controlled style of his early films evolved into a looser, more naturalistic approach, and about how, for him, directing actors is largely a matter of trust and letting go. A Pinewood Dialogue moderated by Chief come up with the scene. And you’ve often said Curator David Schwartz (March 19, 1990): that it wasn’t just a question of acting funny or saying funny lines but to define the kind of SCHWARTZ : And now please welcome Mike emotional undercurrent of the scene. One thing Nichols. (Applause) you’ve been quoted as saying, is that Elaine always says, “When in doubt, seduce.” That’s NICHOLS : I’ll tell you a very quick principle that I always a good core for a scene. Or to have a have come to believe is almost the most fight. So I’d like to know what you got out of your important principle of all of this: I worked with early work as a performer, as a comic performer. Dan Dailey long ago, directing him in a version of The Odd Couple, the play, and he told me that NICHOLS : Well, when you’re improvising comedy when he was at MGM, when he was a big musical in front of an audience, you learn very fast what star at MGM, they got lessons in everything.

Though the film was prosecuted for obscenity in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Florida, it became a major success at drive-ins, downtown theaters, and even made appearances at art-house cinemas. The documentary impulse also informed Scorsese's last feature of the seventies, Raging Bull United Artists, , another Winkler-Chartoff production which many critics consider to be his finest film.
