Nora Ephron Has Passed Away

Just three quick seconds after I posted my post about how the Internet prematurely declared that Nora Ephron was floating up to heaven, The Washington Post reports that she passed away tonight. Nora was 71.

TMZ says that Nora suffered from cancer, but The Washington Posts says that she died of complications from the blood disorder myelodysplasia.

As I wrote in my post below, Nora basically wrote every single movie Meg Ryan was in and if you want to know the names of all the movies she wrote and/or directed, just look in the boot box marked "rainy days/sad days/eat raw cookie dough" days under your bed and you'll find every single one of her movies.

Nora is survived by her husband Nicholas Pileggi and her two sons.

Rest in peace, Nora Ephron.

Maybe I am a total bitch but I think anyone who lives to be 71 shouldn't have a "awww gone too soon" label. I dread getting old and 71 sounds like a good age to go ....

Favorite Meg Ryan movie: "Joe Vs the Volcano".
NOT a Nora.

I love that movie, too. The opening shot where Tom Hanks is going to work with "Sixteen Tons" in the background is great. It reminds me of every godawful job I've ever been forced to endure.

I remember watching Silkwood when I was a kid and getting really creeped out by the radiation thing. Michael K sometimes references the "Silkwood shower," and it sends a chill up my spine. I think Ephron was best when she was working with Streep. I really liked the Julia part in the Julie/Julia or whatever it was called movie.

You've Got Mail is the most re-watchable movie in the history of mankind. I don't think it's all that special but every single time I see it on TV, I cannot change the channel.

Patty cake! Haven't seen you in ages!!! I remember you as having some good insider gossip.

Was she really awful? Can you spill any details?

If you wish death on anyone, I hope you get back what you give. Unless someone imposes super shit on you, you shouldnt wish bad tings about people. Lindsay Lohan is excluded

You and I have had this conversation before at TC. I have to say DESPISE as well. Oh and my personal Thanks for ruining "Bewitched" ( the power brokers in Hwood can easily manage to fuck up the fool proof premise of that classic show . )
Hopefully the next 2 celebrity deaths after her are equally as cantkerous and rotten as Nora Ephron .

Its not plastic surgery , its a medical condition!!

Safe travels, Nora.

Oh, no. Her movies were the filmic equivalents to comfort food. I feel like a little piece of my personal history is gone.

Rest in peace, Nora.

A wit like yours comes along so very rarely. The angels have scored a triumph with your arrival, Nora. How your unique take on life will be missed.

What in the actual FUCK. I just saw the 'Nora has leukemia'. Good goddamn. That is so sad. RIP Nora. You were hilarious. Also, FUCK Carl Bernstein. What? It had to be said. I also love that she was married to Nicholas 'Goodfellas' Pileggi.

It hurts because you let your black heart beat for an asshole who can't even send you a "P.S. I'm about to fuck a hole that doesn't belong to you" text before fucking said hole that doesn't belong to you.
