Nora Ephron
1. While searching through the women film directors’ link, I ran across Nora Ephron, so I decided to randomly pick her. Nora was born in New York City on May 19, 1941. Nora was educated at Wellesley College, Massachusetts with a degree in journalism. She started out in journalism and eventually moved into screenwriting. She is an acclaimed essayist, novelist, and has written screenplays for several popular films. Nora is the daughter of stage and screen-writing team Henry Ephron and Phoebe Ephron.
2. Nora made her directorial debut with the comedy This is My Life in 1992, which was a story about a single mom who struggles to establish herself as a stand up comedian. Most of her films feature strong female characters. Her follow-up to her debut, she co-wrote Sleepless in Seattle (1993). More of her work includes:
• When Harry Met Sally (Nora earned an Oscar nomination for her original screenplay)
• Bewitched
• You’ve Got Mail
• Michael
• My Blue Heaven
• Mixed Nuts
3. I have seen a lot of her work. I absolutely love Sleepless in Seattle; you’ve Got Mail, Michael, and When Harry Met Sally. I had no idea that she was part of these movies.
4. I found this information on The Internet Movie Database website and also in the Nora Ephron Biography page online.
5. It was not difficult to find information about Nora; she is a very well known female in the business.
