Rest in Peace, Nora Ephron...

Nora Ephron is battling leukemia. She is not expected to make it through the night.

What a devastating loss this would be...

Prayers for Ephron and her family at this time.

I've wondered the same thing, though I was far more interested in a new Ephron play than Hanks.

Color me heartbroken.

Very sad, peace and prayers to her family.

I was a freshman in High School, but remember IMAGINARY FRIENDS vividly. I begged my parents for tickets, and it was quite a fight, but finally got them. I'd had a long love affair with Ephron's films after watching them in repeated rotation during a year of ongoing hospital stays.

I remember so much of it, the excitement of seeing one of her works LIVE. I went home and spent the next year devouring The Group, Pentimento and more...

This is heartbreaking news. A devastating blow to the entertainment industry... No one had her wit. No one ever will.

Time to watch "You've Got Mail"...

A worth-reading article from the WSJ to remind you about what Ephron meant:

Sad news indeed- I enjoyed her work very much.

May she Rest in Peace.

Truly a terrible loss...what a brilliant woman, the likes of Dorothy Parker. She will be missed.

Such sad news. I highly recommend everyone check out Nora's tribute speeches to Meryl Streep and Mike Nichols from their respective AFI Life Achievement Award ceremonies. Two of the funniest speeches I've heard.
