Video interview -- Nora Ephron

Writer-director Nora Ephron has a new movie premiering this weekend Julie & Julia. Starring the incomparable Meryl Streep and the delightful Amy Adams, it is one of several writing credits for Ephron including Silkwood (1983), Heartburn (1986), When Harry Met Sally... (1989), Sleepless in Seattle (1993), and You've Got Mail (1998).

In this interview, Ephron talks about Julia Child became an "imaginary friend" long before she made J&J, how when she cooked, she would think about Child as a "great big good fairy." Food is hugely important to Ephron so it's no surprise she took on this project. And don't be surprised if Streep gets yet another Acad Award nomination for her role.
