I was very sad to hear of the passing of writer, producer, and director Nora Ephron. Movies like, ‘Sleepless in Seattle,’ ‘You’ve Got Mail,’ ‘Julie and Julia,’ and specifically, ‘When Harry Met Sally’ were personal favorites of mine.
I was introduced to ‘When Harry Met Sally’ by my dear friend Ali Kowalski, who danced along side me as a bookend in almost every dance routine from the age of 14-18. We were mean girls together…not gonna lie. We were always in the dance teacher’s office taking teenager, “time outs.” Fun times. Ali loved the movie, and would put it on to fall asleep at sleepovers.
We then reconnected in NYC. Ali is now a budding jewelry designer, amongst other things: master chef, spiritual being, best hat collector I know, pullout couch- sharer (many a night I crashed at her Brooklyn abode), seamstress, and great friend. It’s been awhile, but hearing of Nora Ephron’s death, reminded me of my dear friend.
