Nichols, he claimed, had had a childhood disease that left his body virtually hairless...including no eyebrows.
This guy was merrily going on over a Scotch and Soda ( a big drink of the period) and I wondered-- is this for real?
Anyway, Mike Nichols will be remembered for other things.

Mike Nichols, the director of matchless versatility who brought
fierce wit, caustic social commentary and wicked absurdity to such
film, TV and stage hits as "The Graduate," "Angels in America" and
"Monty Python's Spamalot," has died. He was 83.
The death was confirmed by ABC News President James Goldston on Thursday. Nichols died Wednesday evening. He is survived by his wife, former ABC News Anchor Diane Sawyer.
The family will hold a private service this week; a memorial will be held at a later date, Goldston said.
In 2012, Nichols directed Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Death of a Salesman," starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Andrew Garfield. Nichols, Hoffman and other cast members spoke with WQXR's Elliott Forrest in The Greene Space.
