  3. when Sally met Harry was my favorite. Hot here in Tucson means indoor activities...stitching and watching movies. Maybe I can find one of hers on Netflix and revisit. Keep cool.

  4. Truly sad to read of her passing. Had been a fan since reading Heartburn years ago. Watched "When Harry Met Sally every New Year's Eve. Loved "Silkwood", and all the rest. A movie marathon is definitely in order.

  5. So sad. I've seen half of her movies. I love My Blue Heaven.

    Did you see her 1996 commencement address at Wellesley (online)? Inspiring.

  6. I saw the news about her as well and am so sad. I didn't even realise she was that old! Not that her age is old by any means, but I really thought she was about 20 years younger. She truly was an icon. I have always loved "When Harry Met Sally..." but my fave by far is "You've Got Mail".

  7. Coni, I couldn't agree more. She was a truly wonderful woman.

  8. One of the interviews for her book, about having "holes in her head" made me laugh and every time I comb my hair I think of the holes. I really enjoyed her, a good light has gone. She will be missed. I could identify with her, being closer to her age and divorced

  9. What a talented woman; just think of the pleasurable hours she provided to all of those who saw her films, read her works, etc. I didn't realize that she wrote Silkwood (Karen Slikwood was a high school friend of my sister). Nora Ephron will be truly missed.
