Humorist is still sticking her neck out

- 

IF YOU'VE ever looked in the mirror and felt betrayed by your neck, Nora Ephron understands you.

She wrote the novel Heartburn - a thinly-veiled account of her messy divorce from journalist Carl Bernstein-which became a bestseller and a film starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson.

Ephron went on to write and direct some of the most beloved romantic comedies of all time, including When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, and Julie & Julia. Her work combined wit, warmth and insight.
