5 Things Nora Ephron Did For Women in the Entertainment Industry

4. Playwriting

After Ephron had achieved phenomenal success by Hollywood standards she looked to the theatre for her next source of inspiration. In 2002 she wrote the play Imaginary Friends about the volatile relationship between authors Mary McCarthy and Lillian Hellman. And in 2011 she co-wrote with her sister Delia Love, Loss and What I Wore. Both of these were plays were met with mixed reviews but tackled the interesting subjects of female relationships. Ephron was never one to shy away from a challenge as a writer and her foray into theatre not only showed her love of exploring new mediums but also that she was artist that refused to rest on her laurels and kept producing new works.
