  Nora Dunn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nora Dunn (born April 29, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois) is an Irish-American] actress and comedienne best known for her work on NBC's Saturday Night Live.
The 1985 season proved a critical and ratings disaster, and she was one of only three cast members who weren't fired at its end (the others were Jon Lovitz and Dennis Miller).
Dunn made headlines in 1990 by boycotting an episode which was hosted by comedian Andrew Dice Clay (she found his misogynistic humor offensive) and left the show soon after.

 SPLICEDwire | "Laws of Attraction" movie review (2004) "Laws of Attraction" review, Peter Howitt, Pierce Brosnan, ...
They're both whip-smart, high-priced divorce lawyers who have never lost a case or lost their senses -- until they come up against each other in "Laws of Attraction," a head-butting romantic comedy that tries with such enthusiasm to be snappy and beguiling, it's hard to not like it a little just for the effort.
Clearly inspired by the razor-sharp, dialogue-driven battle-of-the-sexes classics of the 1950s (Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn in "Adam's Rib") and 1930s (Cary Grant in anything with Katherine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell or Irene Dunne), you can feel Moore, Brosnan and director Peter Howitt ("Sliding Doors") wringing the script for every drop of wit.
There is a scintillating early scene, ripe with embarrassment and droll duplicity, in which the two attorneys face off in court the day after a antagonistic business meeting -- which turned into antagonistic flirting, which turned into a drinking contest, which turned into a hung-over "Oh, no!" awakening in the same bed the next morning.
