Who is writer Nora Ephron? UPDATED June 27, 2012 (her death)

Here's the Writer's Almanac "take" on the famous director - screenwriter - journalist (from American Public Media - Minnesota Public Radio - Garrison Keillor):

May 19 is the birthday of Nora Ephron, born in New York City (1941). Ephron started as a reporter for the New York Post, and then wrote a column for Esquire. In the mid-1970s she helped then-husband Carl Bernstein rewrite the screenplay for All the President's Men. Their version ended up not being used, but she was offered a job as a screenwriter.
She's since written several successful screenplays, some of which she's also produced and directed. She's best known for romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally. . . (1989), Sleepless in Seattle (1993), and You've Got Mail (1998). Her latest movie was Julie and Julia (2009). Recently, she's been publishing essay collections on the theme of aging: I Feel Bad About My Neck (2006), and I Remember Nothing (2010).

EDIT: (June 27) -- The three-time Oscar nominee died Tuesday, June 26 at a NY City Hospital of leukemia (myelodysplasia), having been diagnosed six years ago.  The triple-hyphenate (screenwriter, director, producer) in the movie business even managed for Director Mike Nichols to write the screenplay from her original novel Heartburn (1986).   She is survived by sister Delia and husband Nicholas Pileggi and her children.
