STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON DEATH OF NORA EPHRON

“The loss of Nora Ephron is a devastating one for New York City’s arts and cultural community. From her earliest days at New York City’s newspapers to her biggest Hollywood successes, Nora always loved a good New York story, and she could tell them like no one else. The books, movies and plays that she set in the world’s greatest city are classics that will be enjoyed for generations, but New York City will miss Nora very much. She was a dear friend, and her husband Nick and the rest of her family are in my thoughts and prayers.”
