I read and re-read “Crazy Salad” as an early adolescent, and have followed Ephron’s writing since (not so much her movies). Her words had a formative effect on my thinking and writing that I couldn’t begin to articulate. What a loss!

I still remember reading _Crazy Salad_ in the crazed salad days of grad school in the ’70s, and not because it was on anybody’s comps list either. I never much got into the movie part, though. Even when I went to them–usually at the behest of friends–I didn’t really know who was *in* them, much less who was *behind* them. That said, maybe I should try a screenplay, or at least a treatment. Take a meeting or two. See what happens.

Oh, yes. We really will miss her, now.

Notorious: that part of the quotation was chosen especially for you, because I thought you would enjoy that!

(Not that it looks like you’re eating a lot of pie these days, to be sure.)

Pie.

A woman after my own heart.

Sometimes the simple, the corny and the obvious are actually the very best there is. We will miss her.
