We are mourning the death of screenwriter, author and NWHM supporter, Nora Ephron. She wrote the scripts for some of the most beloved American romantic comedies, including When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail andSleepless in Seattle.
Ephron once said, “I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.”
Meryl Streep, the Oscar-winning actress, has been advocating for a National Women’s History Museum for some years. Now she is getting some help from her entertainment colleagues.
The planning board for the museum, which would be located in Washington, has enlisted some red carpet names to get the word out about their plans. Joining Streep are Geena Davis, Amy Brenneman, Kate Walsh, Nora Ephron, Frances Fisher, as well as Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first “Twilight.”
For her first project with the group Hardwicke has directed a public service announcement called “Don’t Tell Me I Can’t.” In the spots, young girls portray women from history and actress Alfre Woodard supplies the narration.
