Intimacy isn't something built; it is something found when just the right attractive someone enters your universe, cyber or otherwise." Ephron, who has helped put on the screen such romantic comedy hits as
When Harry Met Sally..., Sleepless in Seattle, and
You've Got Mail, and who has teamed up with sister Delia Ephron on several screenplays, told Bellafante, "I think edge is a highly overrated thing. No matter how hip people think they are, they definitely want to fall in love."
Ephron charted a star-studded course in journalism and fiction before turning her hand to movies with her 1983 screenplay for Silkwood. Writing for magazines such as Esquire and New York magazine in the 1970s, she blended a sense of irony and a humorous feminist sensibility in such classic pieces as "Dealing with the, uh, Problem," about feminine-hygiene sprays, "Baking Off," concerning the Pillsbury Bake-Off," and "A Few Words about Breasts," which deals with America's fetishistic adoration of large female chests. Ephron's early work was collected in Wallflower at the Orgy, Crazy Salad: Some Things about Women, and Scribble, Scribble: Notes on the Media. She also re-worked her own divorce from Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein in Heartburn, her first novel and second screenplay.
