Nora Ephron - The South Bank Show

The child of successful screen-writers, writer/director Nora Ephron was trained by her mother from an early age to cannabalise her life for material. “Everything is copy Nora. Take notes, take notes!” She has done so to great effect. Celebrated for her caustic wit, Nora Ephron is now one of the most successful women film makers in Hollywood, while her humorous essays draw comparisons with Dorothy Parker.
