We've got a thread going on the Main Board, too. But there can't be enough love for this amazing woman.
Here's a great article in the WSJ: http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/06/26/how-nora-ephron-directed-women-to-the-top/?mod=google_news_blog
She was extraordinary. So sad right now...

Posted: 6/26/12 at 8:53pmI'm really saddened by this news. She was a terrific wordsmith, a great wit and a ballsy dame with a twinkle in her eye. Pax!

Posted: 6/26/12 at 9:01pmShe was original. Many have modeled themselves on her, but there was and will be no one else like her.

A sad irony is that the most famous line from all of her films is one she did not write - it was an ad lib...

I was never a terribly big fan but I loved her screenplay of SILKWOOD that she wrote with Alice Arlen.
And you gotta hand it to a lady who became an A-list director after age 50.
RIP

Ms. Ephron was charming at the AFI salute to Meryl Streep.

I loved listening to her on the radio on Thanksgiving day giving advice to cooks.
A truly remarkable - in many ways "renaissance" - woman.

Posted: 6/27/12 at 9:08amSad news. I always thought of her as another Dorothy Parker with her wicked wit. Peace be with her family and friends.

Funny that her Dorothy Parker Problem begins Janet Maslin's article in the NYT yesterday.
"When Nora Ephron wrote about her early aspiration to be the only lady at the table, the sharpest wit in the room, she called this her Dorothy Parker problem. The problem was that many other young writers saw Dorothy Parker as their role model, too."

Thank you, and RIP!
