Crackling good writer and "Sleepless in Seattle" director Nora Ephron gets serious about sagging necks and wrinkles, transforming her family life into fiction, and why her movies aren't as stupid or schmaltzy as people say.
  • a crackling good writer, by golly

    For years, Ephron's two cinematic themes have been thus: It's okay to leave a good man as long as you think there's a better one out there ("Sleepless in Seattle", "You've Got Mail") and people who live anywhere else but New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles are simplistic cultural neanderthals ("My Blue Heaven", "Lucky Numbers").

    Come to think of it, no wonder Little Ms. Becca thinks she's a crackling good writer.
