Nora Ephron at the Movies is a new book dedicated to the writer-director's career.

She is remembered for creating some of the best romantic comedies of all time.

But she was also no stranger to a flop.

The author says she didn't want to be seen as a rom-com queen.

Nora Ephron wrote about her rom-coms in a new book.

She says she wanted to make dark comedy work, especially with dark comedy Lucky Numbers .

The book is due for a rediscovery of Nora 's other films, like Silkwood and Hanging Up.

The author also says she was a brutally honest writer who could point out your flaws.

Nora loved to reference other movies in her films, you make the case that a lot of modern rom-coms wouldn’t exist without Nora .

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson , who I interviewed for the book, says Nora is a huge inspiration for her.
