	AlterNet: Nora Ephron: One Step Forward for Women in Hollywood, Two Leaps Back for the Rest of Us
		But what is depressing about Nora Ephron is that by creating one-dimensional female characters on the verge of a hissy fit she has become one of Hollywood's most powerful women directors.
		Ephron's second box office bang, "You've Got Mail," tells an equally saccharine story of true love found, but this time the requisite steps are demeaning to her female heroine.
		Ephron is rising in Hollywood for the same reasons she slithered up the poles of the New York magazine world: her work is slickly packaged, fuzzily entertaining and soft on gender politics.

		Nora Ephron (born May 19, 1941 in New York City, New York) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter and novelist.
		While she might be a bit startled to hear it, I think that Nora Ephron comes pretty close to exemplifying the androgynous ideal that some feminists advocate as the solution to the war between men and women.
		Nora Ephron writes, at all times, with clarity, directness and wit; and with a casual, agreeable chattiness well suited to her subject.

	I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron: Reviews
		Ephron's friendly, between-us-women tone -- harder to effect than it looks -- draws readers in, but her talent for shaping random, real-life events into well-constructed stories is what makes her writing satisfy.
		Ephron's witty riffs on these distractions are a delightful antidote to the prevailing belief that everything can be held up with surgical scaffolding and the drugs of denial.
		Whether fiction or non-, however, her wonderful, entertaining narratives lose the kick of seriousness when the subject is your pal Nora Ephron, but I suspect it doesn’t have to be that way—if she lives and writes long enough.

	Nora Ephron Interview
		Ephron swears she was never one of those people who said "what I really want to do is direct." Her experiences on the set: having to change the script to accommodate a director, or, worse, watching a script be "misdirected," planted the directing bug.
		Ephron makes emotional movies, and she believes that the women executives who she's worked with, like Columbia studio president Amy Pascal and Universal co-president of production, Stacey Snider, respond in a visceral and emotional way to her stories, rather than "sticking her finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing."
		Ephron swore she didn't get defensive, but what she said was this: "Movies are the literature of this generation, and all subsequent generations.

	ReadingGroupGuides.com - I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron
		Nora Ephron seems to imply that one should approach the "maintenance" of aging with some degree of acceptance of the inevitable - even humor.
		Where books written for seniors are apt to be full of unconvincing cheer, Ephron’s charming book of self-questioning, confession, and resolve faces the reality that she’s sixty-five, dyes her hair, and is not happy about her neck, her purse, her failure at ambitious exercise programs, and other personal failures shared by many of us.
		The actual Ephron is praised by friends as smart, a perfect housekeeper, much prettier than the person she began depicting in Wallflower at the Orgy, her essays from the Seventies, a wonderful cook, etc., etc. It’s sound rhetorical strategy.

	'I Feel Bad About My Neck,' by Nora Ephron - New York Times
		A standout among the essays in Nora Ephron’s “I Feel Bad About My Neck” is titled “On Maintenance.” It describes the bare minimum of costly, time-consuming beauty rituals that the author must undergo on a monthly basis, just so that she can continue looking like a reasonable facsimile of herself.
		Ephron, who put herself on the map with an essay about having small breasts, would be well worth reading on the wild popularity of jumbo breast implants.
		Ephron advises her reader to start hiding that neck at the age of 43 and notes that her own friends often dress like “a white ladies’ version of the Joy Luck Club.” As she explains it: “Our faces are lies and our necks are the truth.
