Writer, director, and producer Nora Ephron "is arguably one of the most powerful women in Hollywood," according to Noreen Taylor in the London Times. In her dozen screenplays and half-dozen directorial works, Ephron has established herself as a savvy,...

Her best moments come when she takes off into manic flight and seems suddenly transformed into Woody Allen; or, perhaps, into a somewhat more malicious Roger Angell…...
