We have always felt so lucky to be together in this magic place.”Sawyer’s husband died in 2014 after suffering a heart attack at their Manhattan apartment.

Nichols was known for movies such as “The Graduate” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?“Mike fell in love with the Vineyard in the ‘60s and always remembered the day he visited Katharine Cornell at her home,” Sawyer explained in a statement. “He said it was the most beautiful house he’d ever seen and described the lustrous wood of the great room with its huge sliding doors.

He remembered the path winding out over the dune to the beach, like an invitation to a perfect day. It always kept its hold on his imagination.”Situated on 20 sprawling acres, the beach compound was built for legendary actress Cornell in the 1940s.
