Electrifying Essayist Passes at 71


Whitney Houston, Rodney King, and now Nora Ephron. The year 2012 marks a time period when the global community lost several prominent figures. Essayist, screenwriter, and director Nora Ephron passed away June 26, 2012 from leukemia-induced pneumonia. Ephron died at the age of 71.  
Ephron helped to produce numerous popular works such as Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, and Julie & Julia.  Reflecting on her life’s lessons, Ephron wrote in her collection of essays, “I Feel Bad About My Neck,” Why do people write books that say it’s better to be older than to be younger? It’s not better. Even if you have all your marbles, you’re constantly reaching for the name of the person you met the day before yesterday.” For more info on Ephron’s life and death, check out the NYT's coverage.
