Nora Ephron
Nora Ephron was born on May 19th 1941 in New York City. She was an American journalist, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, essayist, producer, director and blogger. Her best-known works are When Harry Met Sally, Silkwood and Sleepless in Seattle.
She was born into a Jewish family to Henry and Phoebe Ephron. She was the oldest of four daughters and grew up in Beverly Hills. Her sisters, Delia and Amy, are also screenwriters and her sister Hallie is a journalist, novelist and book reviewer. Her parents became alcoholics in the last years of their lives. Ephron graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 1958, and from Wellesley College in Massachusetts in 1968.
After graduating from college, Ephron worked briefly as an intern in the White House under President Kennedy. She also applied for a position at Newsweek, but took a mail girl position when she was told that they didn’t hire any female writers. She eventually quit Newsweek because of this and sued the business for sexual discrimination.
She then landed a job at the Post, where she worked as a reporter for five years. After becoming a successful writer, she wrote an article on women’s issues for Esquire. She made a name for herself in this position, taking on many different subjects such as Dorothy Schiff, Betty Friedan and Wellesley, her alma matter.
Ephron was married three times. Her first husband was Dan Greenburg, a famous writer, but they divorced nine years later. In 1976 she married Carl Bernstein. They had a son, Jacob, in 1979. She was pregnant with their next child, Max, when she discovered his affair with their friend Margaret Jay. This inspired her to write her novel Heartburn in 1983. She was then married to Nicholas Pileggi until she died.
She rewrote the script for All the President’s Men in the 1970s with Bernstein. The script wasn’t used, but it opened a door into a successful screenwriting career for her, as it was seen by someone who offered her a job.
In 1994 she was awarded the Women in Film Crystal Award.
Ephron was one of the only people to know the true identity of Deep Throat, a source that gave information to Bernstein and Bob Woodward during the Watergate scandal. She guessed their identity after reading some of Bernstein’s notes, many of which were labelled MF. Bernstein claimed that it stood for “My Friend”, but she correctly guessed that it stood for Mark Felt, associate director of the FBI at the time. After Bernstein and Ephron broke up, she was very open about their identity, telling anyone who asked unashamedly. However, the only ones who believed her were her sons. She was invited to write about the experience for the Huffington Post, where she was and editor and blogger.
On the 26th of June 2012, Ephron died of pneumonia, which had been brought on by acute myeloid leukaemia, which she was diagnosed with in 2006.
The Nora Ephron Prize is a $25,000 prize for a female write or filmmaker at the Tribeca Film Festival.
