Nora Ephron: Hollywood colleagues pay tribute to her work
Hollywood stars have been paying tribute to the wisdom and wit of their friend and colleague the film-maker Nora Ephron, the screenwriter behind When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle, who has died at the age of 71. Billy Crystal, who starred with Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally, told the Huffington Post: "She was a brilliant writer and humorist. Being her Harry to Meg's Sally will always have a special place in my heart. I was very lucky to get to say her words." Ephron died on Tuesday after suffering complications from the blood disorder myelodysplasia, with which she was diagnosed six years ago. Having begun a journalistic career as a reporter at the New York Post in the 1960s, she moved into scriptwriting after working on a screenplay for All the President's Men, based on the book co-written by her then husband, Carl Bernstein.

The snappy reply, which brought laughter at the Old Bailey, came after she was told Tory Lord Astor denied an affair with her. Along with Christine Keeler and osteopath Stephen Ward, Rice-Davies was a key figure in the 1963 Profumo scandal which rocked the Conservative government. And her loaded one-line response to lawyer James Burge seemed to encapsulate a new lack of deference to the old order as the country emerged from the austerity of the immediate post-war years. In the dock at the trial then captivating the nation with a mix of sex, spies and politics was Ward, accused of being a pimp for Rice-Davies and fellow dancer Keeler. Tales had emerged of the pair taking part in lavish sex parties with the rich and famous organised by Ward at Lord Astor’s Berkshire country seat of Cliveden. … [Read more...] about Mandy Rice-Davies dead: Party girl who helped topple a government and ended up in the dictionary
