Ephron's friend Richard Cohen said of her, "She was very Jewish, culturally and emotionally. She identified fully as a Jewish woman." [34] However, Ephron was not religious.

For many years, Ephron was one of the very few people who knew the identity of Deep Throat, the anonymous informer for articles written by her ex-husband Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward uncovering the Watergate scandal. [38] Ephron read Bernstein's notes, which referred to Deep Throat as "MF"; [38] Bernstein said it stood for "My Friend", but Ephron correctly guessed it stood for Mark Felt, the former associate director of the FBI.

The Washington Post.After a satire in Monocle she wrote lampooning the New York Post caught the editor's eye, Ephron accepted a job at the Post, where she worked as a reporter for five years. [12] In 1966, she broke the news in the Post that Bob Dylan had married Sara Lownds in a private ceremony. [17] After becoming a successful writer, she wrote a column on women's issues for Esquire. [10] In this position, Ephron made a name for herself by writing " A Few Words About Breasts", a humorous essay about body image that "established her as the enfant terrible of the New Journalism". [18] While at Esquire, she took on subjects as wide-ranging as Dorothy Schiff, her former boss and owner of the Post; Betty Friedan, whom she chastised for pursuing a feud with Gloria Steinem; and her alma mater Wellesley, which she said had turned out "a generation of docile and unadventurous women". [12] A 1968 send-up of Women's Wear Daily that she wrote for Cosmopolitan resulted in threats of a lawsuit from WWD. [12] I'd never read Heartburn before and I really loved it. It's nothing groundbreaking, just a lightly fictionalized retelling of Ephron's own divorce, but the way she wrote it was just so vivid. It underscores how talented of a writer Ephron was. Think of The Most of Nora Ephron as a big book of everything you already love about the acute author, bound together into one tome begging to be dog-eared.
