Nora Ephron
was a wonderful romantic comedy writer and one of my all time favorites is “You’ve
Got Mail”. I think Nora put all her
favorite quotes and thoughts into Kathleen Kelly and she is one of the most
delightful characters in romantic comedy history. Nora also did a brilliant job in
screenwriting “Julie & Julia” and Meryl Streep’s rendition of Julia Child
is nothing short of amazing. How many
people have gone to the Empire State Building hoping to see a romantic pairing
such as happened in “Sleepless in Seattle”?
I envy Nora her razor sharp wit and
undeniable writing ability. It’s a sad
loss her passing away yesterday.
Leafing through her last book “I Remember Nothing” makes me laugh as
much as the first reading. Here’s
looking at you, kid.
