WASHINGTON — “Take notes,” Nora Ephron’s mother advised her as a child. ‘‘Everything is copy.’’

Her mother, a Broadway playwright and Hollywood screenwriter, imbued Ms. Ephron with a razor-sharp self-awareness and the ambition to transform workaday absurdities, cultural idiosyncracies, romantic foibles, and even marital calamity into essays, novels, and films brimming with invitingly mordant wit. She credited her mother with bestowing ‘‘this kind of terrific ability, not to avoid pain but to turn it over and recycle it as soon as possible.’’

Nora Ephron, who gained a devoted following for her perceptive, deeply personal essays and parlayed that renown into a screenwriting career of wistful romantic comedies ‘‘When Harry Met Sally’’ and ‘‘You’ve Got Mail,’’ the marital expos “Heartburn,’’ and the whistleblower drama ‘‘Silkwood,’’ died Tuesday at a hospital in New York. She was 71.

She died of complications from the blood disorder myelodysplasia, with which she was diagnosed six years ago.

Brilliant, brilliant woman.

Sadly, her friend Liz Smith released her obituary before she'd actually passed. That's kinda bittersweet funny.
