The Dream Merchant!

Dreams having different colour and different shape, with the ages the colour and shape of dream changes constantly. Often we live in a world which completely surrounded by the illusion and obviously too far from reality. At the end of the day we found ourselves in a unknown alley yet we always try to make a life which a cocktail of dream and reality and forced ourselves to believe in it. That’s why we end up with a shattered dream. There was time when we like to live in a world made by Mills and Boons knowing it is shear nonsense and often by the rom-coms.  However, honestly, at my age I too have to give up to a intense desire to sit with a bucketful of popcorn and watch some of the best rom-coms. This blog is a tribute to Nora Ephron   who made some memorable stuff but it will be very unwise to say that we only remember Nora Ephron  for a few rom-coms. She was a multi-facet genius, journalist, writer, script writer, producer and director who given us some stupendous movies as well as some stunning rom-coms.

Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron was born in the New York City on May 19, 1941. She was the daughter of Phoebe and Henry Ephron. Her parents were both screenwriters. When she was four years old, the family moved to Beverly Hills, California. She remained there until she graduated from Beverly Hills High and moved back east to attend Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Ephron's sisters Delia and Amy are also screenwriters, while her sister Hallie Ephron is a journalist, book reviewer, and novelist who writes crime fiction. Ephron's parents based Sandra Dee's character in the play and the Jimmy Stewart film Take Her, She's Mine on their 22-year-old daughter Nora and her letters to them from college.

Ephron is best known for her romantic comedies and was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay): for Silkwood, When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail. She won a BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay for ‘When Harry Met Sally’. She sometimes wrote with her sister Delia Ephron. Her last film was Julie & Julia. She also co-authored the Drama Desk Award-winning theatrical production Love, Loss, and What I Wore.
