Nora Ephron


Nora Ephron, a director, producer, and screenwriter, known for her works like:

1. When Harry Met Sally (writer and producer) (1989)
2. Sleepless In Seattle (writer and director) (1993)
3. You've Got Mail (writer, producer and director) (1998)

Ephron graduated college in 1962 with a degree in journalism.  She worked for newspapers and magazines like New York, Esquire, and The New York Times Sunday Magazine.  After getting married and having her first child she began to focus on screen writing, scripting occasional television episodes and selling screenplays that were never produced.  Her screenplay for Silkwood (1983) was made into a successful film.  In the same year she wrote a novel that was later produced to  film, Heartburn.  She became one of the most sought out writers in the business.  Then in 1989, she wrote the script for When Harry Met Sally.  Ephron tried to turn to directing to protect her writing career in an industry that was male dominated but failed when she directed This Is My Life.  She then became very well known for romantic comedies when she wrote Sleepless In Seattle in 1993.
