Update, 8:15: Nora Ephron has died at age 71, both The Washington Post and CBS News have confirmed.
Much confusion in The Frisky offices this evening: folks are saying that iconic journalist and screenwriter Nora Ephron has died. Gossip columnist Liz Smith posted an article todayon the site WowOwow, which seems to eulogize Ephron, with lines like ?I won?t say, ?Rest in peace, Nora? ? I will just ask??What the hell will we do without you????Likewise, WowOwow advice columnist Margo Howard has been tweeting news of her alleged death: ?A very accomplished writer died. Nora Ephron, from cancer? and ?Well, to those of you who can?t find the news of Nora Ephron?s death, the funeral is Thursday ? and maybe that?s the way she wanted it.?
Ephron?s publisher Knopf has supposedly said Eprhon is very much alive. Also,?The New York Observer?contacted Ephron?s representatives, who?issued??a blanket no-comment policy? on Smith?s post.?We here at The Frisky are hoping ? desperately, desperately hoping ? this is all untrue and some big, weird prank. We will keep you posted as soon as we know. (Image via Getty)
