Following a private battle with acute myeloid leukemia, Nora Ephron passed away at the age of 71 yesterday. Having been responsible for some of the most beloved romantic comedies of all time ( Sleepless in Seattle , When Harry Met Sally ), Ephron was known and admired by a number of Hollywood’s most respected stars, many of whom have released statements in regard to the sad news. Billy Crystal : “I am very sad to learn of Nora’s passing. 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.” Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson : “Nora Ephron was a journalist/artist who knew what was important to know; how things really worked, what was worthwhile, who was fascinating and why… At a dinner table and on a film set she lifted us all with wisdom and wit mixed with love for us and love for life. Rita and I are so very sad to lose our friend who brought so much joy to all who were lucky enough to know her.” Nicole Kidman : “She was so smart, warm and funny. I am so grateful that she was my friend and we had the opportunity to work together. My thoughts and love are with her family at this time. I will never forget the dinners, games and laughter we all share.”
