Missing Nora Ephron

I just saw that Nora Ephron died last week. What a loss. Her movies, such as Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail, are a couple of my favorites. There are some lovely memories of her from friends and colleagues at this link. Do you know she loved to cook? Since Julie and Julia was also hers, it shouldn’t be a surprise. She was 71 and she died from leukemia. Poor thing. She evidently struggled with it for a number of years. Who knew? She kept her illness to herself and only a very few close family members and friends. She’s probably best known for the line, “I’ll have what she’s having,” after Meg Ryan’s fantastic fake orgasm in restaurant in the movie When Harry Met Sally. It feels like a black hole in the space where she used to be. She will be sorely missed.
