Erroneous reports that Nora Ephron has died are posting on the Internet now so Deadline has just been asked to set the record straight. Yes, the famed 71-year-old writer-director-author is very ill but she wanted this to remain a private matter. And Deadline agreed to keep this confidential since we don’t report on showbiz personal lives. We continue to try to respect her wishes.
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

I loved Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail. Prayers for Nora!!!
We pray for her to get well.She is a talented and wonderful women.
Tragedy. An amazing talent.
I am very sorry to hear this.
Prayers for Nora. ?
yes, my compassionate friend, prayers for nora.
Nora Ephron is one of the brightest stars in the galaxy. She has a unique knack of finding humor
and lightness in the most difficult of circumstances. I will pray that she recovers from this illness
so she may continue to bring joy to the world.
I never get the forbidding thing assigned to her. Professionally a pleasure to deal with, a class act, and an inspiration to all young women everywhere particularly those in journalism and the movie business.
Apologies for the question mark. This particular site (rightfully) doesn’t take Alt characters. It was supposed to be a heart.
Love and Prayers for Nora.
A truly brilliant and gifted writer/director. Her movies were the backdrop of my life. Just hate that she’s gone too soon and there won’t be more.
Bright, self-effacing, funny talent who has always struck me as a great, neat lady.
Wishing her the very best.
“When Harry Met Sally” is one of the best screenplays I can think of. It defined the romantic comedy genre and years of movies that followed it.
I also loved “Julie and Julia.”
Hope she gets better! Prayers to her & Family!
Rom-Com pioneer. Deep, warm thoughts for family, friends & fans who love her.
Thoughts and prayers are with you, Nora. You’re the greatest.
I was just reading and loving her book. Sending good thoughts for a recovery.
“Yes, the famed 71-year-old writer-director-author is very ill but she wanted this to remain a private matter.”
It’s a shame that Liz Smith couldn’t respect the family’s wishes and keep her big mouth (pen) shut.
THIS is why she wanted to keep it private. Cloying comments from the trailer park.
This is very, very sad. Such an iconic voice in Hollywood and a real pioneer. Gone too soon.
Oh God, I’m so sorry for having said that last thing. Really, really dumb on my part, having not read the full story.
Hugely inspiring woman. I will hope and pray she gets well. Stay strong, Nora!!!!
Very Sad. I’ve always loved her interviews on Charlie Rose and her writings. super smart and great vision of the world as a hole. My prayers are with you and your family
*whole
Thank you Nora for those wonderful hours I could escape to and smile
Sadly, the Washington Post is reporting that she has, in fact died.
