It became a big hit and proved that fashion was much more than skin-deep, in the hands of the Ephron sisters at least.īased on Ilene Beckerman’s 1995 memoir of the same name – which takes us from her Brownie uniform to the Diane Von Fürstenberg dress she wore when she met her third husband – the play combines her story with a chorus of women’s voices that speak about everything from their first bras and prom dresses to love, same-sex marriage, motherhood, divorce, grief, rape and cancer. Then, in 2008, she teamed up with her sister, Delia Ephron, to write a play about what other women wore and why. Over the years and alongside her screenwriting successes, the late Nora Ephron wrote personal pieces about fashion, mulling over her love of turtleneck sweaters, the vagaries of getting a manicure in Manhattan and the inside of her Tardis-like handbag in typically wry, observant tones. By Nora and Delia Ephron based on the book by Ilene Beckerman
