For all of you writers out there, for all of you who enjoy Nora Ephron's movies and books, you gotta watch "Everything is Copy" (HBO).
It's a wonderful documentary, made by her son, and it includes fascinating interviews with her husbands, her son, her three sisters, and her huge circle of friends/writers/actors/producers.
I love the way it ends: her list of "Things I Will Miss When I Die." including--her two sons, her husband, Nick, spring and fall, riding over the bridge into Manhattan, Paris, bacon.....and pie."
Nora gave the world "Sleepless in Seattle" and other romantic comedies, but she's also known for her many essays, searing, angry, biting, and funny. She died a couple of years ago of leukemia.
For a woman who always claimed "there are no secrets," and who seemed to be completely self-disclosing, she managed to keep her final secret (that she was dying) even from her closest friends.
