“Ephron, as everyone who’s read her knows, is one of our great prosecutorial talents,” proclaimed New York magazine in a 1983 profile. In her first career, however, Ephron was a writer of acidically cynical and vengeful journalism. “I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address,” Tom Hanks tells Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail, a single line that launched a thousand Etsy storefronts full of pencil bouquets.
She made When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail. In her second career, the one that made her famous, she was the screenwriter and director behind a series of dreamy, witty, deeply romantic comedies.
