Memorial Page for Nora Ephron

Did you know? Nora Ephron learned of her blood disorder, a pre-leukemic condition, in 2006 — and kept it secret from almost all of her friends and colleagues for nearly six years. She wanted to keep working and feared a known diagnosis would stall her career. Only when she died in 2012 did the world learn that the woman behind "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle" had been quietly fighting all that time.
