Nora Ephron: Last News

J. Kim Murphy Olivia Wilde has seemingly responding to a report detailing allegations around the last days of her relationship with her ex-partner, Jason Sudeikis, which included an anecdote about the “Ted Lasso” star becoming upset after Wilde made a salad for her “Don’t Worry Darling” star Harry Styles. On Tuesday evening, Wilde shared an image of a page from Nora Ephron’s novel “Heartburn,” featuring a passage that discloses a salad recipe, on her Instagram story. Ephron’s autobiographical 1983 novel details her rocky marriage with, and eventual divorce from, her second husband, Carl Bernstein. Wilde’s post seems to be a response to a recent Daily Mail report detailing the breakdown of her and Sudeikis’ domestic partnership, centered on allegations made by the couple’s ex-nanny. The article states Sudeikis, who shares two children with Wilde, was “infuriated” after his partner prepared a salad for Styles with her “special dressing.” According to the ex-nanny, the encounter left Sudekis “ranting furiously at [Wilde] and filming the encounter, before he tried to prevent her leaving by lying under the car.”

Emily Longeretta Over the past few years, Liz Hannah has worked very hard — so much so that her two series are Emmy contenders this year. She co-created Hulu’s “The Girl From Plainville” and served as executive producer on “The Dropout.”“We moved here in January 2021, after being in a house where my husband [Brian Millikin] and I shared an office during the first year of the pandemic while I was running the room for ‘Plainville’ and he was developing two shows,” she says.

You can accuse writer/director/star Katie Holmes of doing a lot of things in her sophomore feature “Alone Together,” but you certainly can’t say she doesn’t wear her influences on her sleeve.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticThe first thing you need to do whilst watching HBO Max’s “Julia” is to get all other versions of Julia Child out of your head. That proves easier than might be expected, given such enduring depictions as Meryl Streep’s lauded turn in Nora Ephron’s “Julie and Julia” (2009) or, most cartoonishly, Dan Aykroyd’s “Saturday Night Live” performance of Child as a careening agent of chaos who constantly bleeds out like a geyser.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticThe romantic comedy as we know it has been through four phases. It was born with “It Happened One Night” (1934), and the glory of the classic romantic-comedy period (Hepburn and Tracy and so on) was the ’30s and ’40s, though it extended into the ’50s with a movie like “Pillow Talk.” The form enjoyed a cultural resurgence starting in 1989 and ’90, with the release of “When Harry Met Sally” and “Pretty Woman.” You could call that the Age of Nora Ephron, since she kind of ruled over it; the fact that that era spawned the term “rom-com” says a lot about how love comedies, in their born-again popularity, were becoming a kind of consumer product.

Ariana DeBose I’ve always had difficulty understanding where I fit in Black History Month. What do I represent? What communities do I belong to? And are they reflected in the narrative of the celebration? I think about the many unsung Black women who’ve paved the way throughout history, like Pauli Murray who spoke up for civil rights and the rights of Black queer women specifically.

“From Hollywood With Love: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of the Romantic Comedy,” by Scott Meslow (Dey St.), out Feb. 1.Here are surprising stories from six of the most beloved rom-coms of the past few decades.In the initial script for 1989 film “When Harry Met Sally,” the two title characters, played by Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, went their separate ways at the end.But a funny thing happened on the way to a bummer ending.Director Rob Reiner, after almost a decade of being single, fell in love.“I just had them walking in opposite directions at the end,” Reiner says in the book.“And then I met the woman who became my wife during the making of the movie, and I changed the ending.” (Reiner and his wife Michele married in 1989 and are still together.)But the main characters of “When Harry Met Sally” are actually stand-ins for Reiner and the film’s writer, Nora Ephron, who spent many hours arguing about the differences between men and women when it comes to sex and relationships.“Ephron wanted to know: What is it actually like to be a single man?” writes Meslow.

Dr Barbara Sturm points out, is because the skin there is thinner, with fewer sebaceous glands, making it more prone to dehydration, lines and sun damage. There is no better cure for preventing crêpiness and age spots than by covering up, but who, except the late Nora Ephron perhaps, wants to live in scarves and polo-necks all-year round?Instead, it is wise practice to apply a dedicated neck cream with lipid-rich ceramides, such as Sturm’s own new Super Anti-Aging Neck and Décolleté Cream. This contains a high concentration of potent ingredients including shea butter, marula oil, prickly pear and good old hyaluronic acid, with the addition of mushroom extract to firm, tighten and restore elasticity and moisture.The neck, Sturm points out, is in constant motion, giving cause for horizontal lines which, if you so desire, can be tempered with baby shots of Botox (it’s a real thing), while neck skin can be tightened with radiofrequency or ultrasound, or even a traditional lower face lift – which, let’s be honest, is old hat when lasers and light beams can do just as good a job without a trace.Still, January is not the time for splurging, and so if nothing else, it is prudent to apply whatever serum and cream you use on your face down on to your neck and chest, including factor 50 SPF – even in winter. And while you’re at it, smear what’s left on the backs of your hands, which are also susceptible to premature ageing. I’ve found vitamin C serum particularly effective: it has faded the pigmentation on mine since I began doing so a while ago.Slightly off-topic, but worth considering is a silk pillowcase or, better yet, a designated beauty pillow.
