Nora Ephron on Her Generation and Divorce

Jun 9, 2011


We remember with gratitude the fifteen times Nora Ephron graced our stage. She talked here about filmmaking, writing, women, aging, politics, AIDS, the differences between men and women and much more, bringing her distinctive wit and perception to issues that frequently vex and trouble us. She first came here forty years ago as part of a panel discussion on women writers and made her last appearance in October 2011 for an Andy Borowitz event celebrating his book on America's Funniest Writers.

In this clip she talks about the women's movement of the early 1970s and the huge impact of divorce becoming a viable option for women. As always, she combines sensitivity and insight with humor. We'll miss her voice.
