I certainly had not written about my family or my own life explicitly, and so I was curious about what that had been like for her. You know, I write for The New York Times, but I write much less personally, generally - or less autobiographically, at least. I think that I was interested in what the life of a writer is. On w hy he wanted to make a documentary about his mother , and wrote and directed Sleepless in Seattle and Julie & Julia. She also wrote the movies Silkwood and When Harry Met Sally. Ephron wrote a fictionalized account of her and Carl Bernstein's divorce in the best-selling novel Heartburn, which she later adapted into a film. Jacob Bernstein's father, Carl Bernstein, who with Bob Woodward broke the Watergate story, also appears in the film. The documentary features interviews with family, friends and people Ephron worked with. Bernstein tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross that the film's title comes from an Ephron family saying - "everything is copy," meaning that anything and everything that happens to you is fair game to write about. The documentary, which debuted on HBO in March, shares the story of Ephron's life. The new documentary Everything Is Copy - about the late writer, director and journalist Nora Ephron - was written and directed by her son, Jacob Bernstein. Writer, director and journalist Nora Ephron died in 2012 of complications from leukemia.
