Hollywood is in mourning. The sudden death of acclaimed director and Diane Sawyer ‘s husband, Mike Nichols , has affected a number of stars in the industry, both those who have merely appreciated and praised Nichols’ career and those who were lucky enough to work with him. Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks are two stars who were fortunate enough to be part of Nichols’ past projects, and these two actors are the latest celebs to speak out about the passing of their former colleague and friend. Streep described Nichols as “An inspiration and joy to know, a director who cried when he laughed, a friend without whom, well, we can’t imagine our world, an indelible irreplaceable man.”
