    When she said "It's a little depressing knowing if you went to audition as yourself, you would lose out to her" I know I laughed until I changed into every color of the rainbow! OMG that was hilarious!

    I remember reading somewhere that Charlie Chaplin was travelling incognito on a cruise. The ship had organised a Fancy dress ball. Charlie Chaplin went as himself and won 2nd place to another Charlie Chaplin costume.

    NOBODY says it BETTER than Nora Ephron. Here's what the NY Times said about Nora: "Nora Ephron can write about anything better than anybody can write about anything." The Seattle Times wrote, "Nora Ephron is, in essence, one of the original bloggers--and if everyone could write like her, what a lovely place the Internet would be..." Newsweek said Nora is "Funny, shrewd, devastating." "Always funny," says Mademoiselle magazine. "Pure delight," says Playboy. She's all that and more. Nora Ephron illumined the world with her brilliance. I miss her. (Nora Ephron--1941-2012)

    Indeed, if the New York Times, Newsweek, and The Seattle Times among many other print media could write like Norah, what a beautiful place the world would be. Here's the thing though, they can, but they won't, cause they have an agenda. Norah did not have an agenda. She just have the smart and the wit and the style.
