Download I'll Have What She's Having: How Nora Ephron's Three Iconic Films Saved the Romantic Comedy AudioBook Free
In I'll Have What She's Having, entertainment journalist Erin Carlson explains to the storyplot of the real Nora Ephron and exactly how she reinvented the romcom through her trio of instant classics. Using a ensemble of famous encounters including Reiner, Hanks, Ryan, and Crystal, Carlson calls for listeners on a rollicking, revelatory visit to Ephron's NEW YORK, where reality had taken a backseat to love and Ephron - who always knew what she wished and exactly how she wished it - ruled the collection with an attention to depth that made her celebrities feel safe but sometimes exasperated staff members. On the way Carlson examines how Ephron explored in the movie theater answers to the questions that plagued her own romantic life and exactly how she regained faith in love after one cracked proposal and two failed relationships. Carlson also explores many other questions Ephron's fans have wondered about: What sparked Reiner to snap out of his bachelor blues through the making of When Harry Met Sally? Why was Ryan, a gifted comedian caught in the body of any fairy-tale princess, not the first choice for the role? After she and Hanks each individually balked at playing Email's Kathleen Kelly and Sleepless' Sam Baldwin, what modified their minds? And perhaps most importantly: That which was Dave Chappelle doing...in a turtleneck? A romantic portrait of one of America's most iconic filmmakers and a look behind the moments of her crowning achievements, I'll Have What She's Having is a vivid account of the days and evenings when Ephron, along with assorted cynical collaborators, learned showing her heart and soul on the display.
