Journalist and Oscar-nominated screenwriter, Nora Ephron, has died in Manhattan at the age of 71 after complications relating to acute myeloid leukaemia – a disease she battled for six years. She was the woman behind some of our favourite romcoms and ‘chick flicks’ including Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally and Julie & Julia about the life of Julia Childs.

She was at the same time an essayist, novelist, columnist, director and playwright – sharing her talents with the world by putting pen to paper in whichever way she could, changing from one role to the other as she needed to. Writing was in her blood – her parents, Henry and Phoebe Ephron, were the pens responsible for Carousel and There’s No Business Like Showbusiness, and two of her sisters, Delia and Amy, also became writers. Her most recent collections of writing, I Feel Bad About My Neck and I Remember Nothing, were proof that Ephron was still at the top of her creative game.
