“Roger Ebert was one of the great champions of freedom of artistic expression. When the power of independent film was still unknown and few would support it, Roger was there for our artists. His personal passion for cinema was boundless, and that is sure to be his legacy for generations to come.” — Robert Redford

Harry: You were going to be a gymnast.
Sally: A journalist.
Harry: Right, that’s what I said.
Nora Ephron was one of the first female filmmakers that I realized was female. What I mean by this is that as a child I simply thought of all writers, directors, etc. as either male or genderless - when I realized who Nora Ephron was and that she was witty, funny, fabulous and one of the writers I most admired it opened my eyes to the fact that I, as a woman, might be able to have a creative career.
For a teenager this was a huge realization. She will always be one of my original film idols.
Ms. Ephron will be missed.
