The Greats: Nora Ephron
Nora Ephron is one of the greatest screenwriters of all-time.
From her collaborations with Meryl Streep (SILKWOOD, HEARTBURN, JULIE & JULIA) to crafting some of the most iconic romantic comedies ever made (WHEN HARRY MET SALLY…, SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, YOU’VE GOT MAIL) to her work as a news reporter, essayist, playwright (and so much more) Ephron inspired a generation of women to pick up their pens and celebrate the female experience through words. Today, we’ll take a look back at Ephron’s incredible career, which sadly ended in 2012 when she passed away. We miss you, Nora.
